In depth
Verdict
Raise Hell isn't a stable star but has raced over trips too far on his last two starts. Worldor has yet to reach a place over fences which is why he's much better handicapped than over timber but Pat Garrett seems better over further. Ard Agus Fada has shown a glimmer of his old ability recently but still looks on a high enough rating and Tellherimnothere is a still a maiden over fences and has been absent since December. LIMPOPO TOM doesn't win often but still finds himself with a big weight. Kevin Sexton reduces his burden and Paul Flynn's charge, who had a recent run on the Flat, can gain his first success over fences.
