Verdict
Minella Rocco has only won once over fences but that was the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in 2016. Kashmir Peak has not finished out of the first two in his last eight races between the flags but this looks a big ask for the veteran mare after a very long absence. BOB AND CO has also been off the track for a while and carries a penalty but his last run saw him finish third in a Grade 3 chase at Auteuil and he’ll take all the beating if running up to that form.
