Verdict
The two previous winners in this should dominate. Only a pound separates GOOD BOY BOBBY and River Bray according the handicapper and the latter has the more recent form but Nigel Twiston-Davies’ charge had looked very promising prior to an unexpected defeat at Ffos Las - he has the greater scope so gets the nod. It’s difficult to make much of a case for any of the others.
