THEO looks to complete the four-timer and maintain his unbeaten record since joining Richard Newland. The second has franked the form of his latest Newton Abbot win and he doesn’t look badly treated on his chasing bow. Pemba has the edge in experience and a couple of placed efforts to her name over the larger obstacles. Capsy De Mee was a little disappointing over hurdles considering he won a Grade 3 bumper in France but the switch to fences could prove beneficial. Earls Fort won three times over hurdles but was tailed off on his fencing bow at Ffos Las.
