Verdict
EL BORRACHO won off much higher marks over fences last year and has had a pipe-opener so could be a bit of value in this. Treasured Company was in good form in the autumn, winning here and at Sedgefield, but may need this while Son Of Red is having a first run for new connections having become disappointing. Chef De Troupe has been in good form on the all-weather but was beaten a long way in a seller when last over hurdles. Zamond has been thereabouts lately, however, and is getting 14lb from the maiden Halifax.
