In depth
Verdict
Sergeant Brody won between the flags so the switch to fences should suit but KRUGERMAC was staying on at the finish when third over 2m4f at Market Rasen last time and should enjoy the longer trip and stiffer finish here. Our Reward returns from a lay-off but has a future over the larger obstacles and Dylanseoghan won over a longer trip at Stratford last month. Linenhall was highly tried over hurdles last season and has been lightly raced while Cadeau Du Bresil won over track and trip in March, though has been well beaten twice since.
