      Verdict

      Back To The Thatch was a non-runner yesterday at Newbury so will presumably take his chance here but ARCTIC GOLD is preferred. He took his chance in the Grand Sefton at Aintree after seconds at Perth and Ayr and jumped well until coming to grief at the Canal Turn. If that hasn’t affected his confidence, he may be too strong for Buster Thomas and Town Parks, who also failed to complete last time. No Dice hasn’t raced since March and failed to win in 11 tries for Tony Martin.
