Verdict

Lough Kent won over fences in France in 2013 but this will be his first sight of the larger obstacles in this country and he's proved a weak finisher over hurdles. Domtaline rather lost his way last year but Jay Are won at Plumpton and Exeter in March. BOSS IN BOOTS wasn't disgraced when tried in this grade at Plumpton and can confirm that running with Un Anjou, despite worse terms. Seamus Mullins' grey gets the nod today as Red Riverman may need this.
