Verdict
Sir Ivan runs in his first hunters’ chase but has placed twice in handicaps this season. BOB AND CO made a very respectable reappearance at Cheltenham last month and, ridden by the experienced Tommie O’Brien, should build on that here. Let Me Entertain U is having a first run over fences but has won a point and a bumper.
