In depth
Verdict
RUSSBOROUGH has been threatening to land his first chasing victory and was placed again at Catterick last month. He may come good in this given Frizzo has struggled off higher marks since recording a double over fences in November. Molko Jack ran well from out of the weights at Uttoxeter last time but the remainder are hard to fancy on their recent poor form with Shooters Wood preferred dropped in class for this.
