In depth
Verdict
Kosamet ran well in a bumper to be second and he will not have to improve much to score in this very weak affair with the extra distance sure to suit. Lucky Time has been beaten in Novice Chases but even on that form he will take a deal of beating and he does have the champion aboard which is hardly a minus. Lisa B could go well off a light weight but the remainder will have to improve significantly to score.
