Previous results
In depth
Verdict
Onemorefortheroad improved for the switch to handicaps in the spring but sets the standard in this despite conceding 10lb and upwards to his rivals. Lustleigh is probably capable of better and Millbank Flyer ran really well on his hurdles bow a year ago but Huntingdon bumper winner CALL OF THE WILD may be the one to be on. He is a half-brother to three winning jumpers and will have been well schooled.
