In depth
Verdict
This looks quite competitive but were hoping that a first victory over fences here last month will have boosted the confidence of BLACK BUBLE, who won over this longer trip over hurdles. Sizing Cusimano is clearly a danger as he’s made all here the last twice and won with plenty in hand. The Composeur beat a good yardstick at Southwell last month an also enters the reckoning along with the maiden No No Maestro.
