Verdict
Things haven't exactly gone to plan so far with DRUMLEE SUNSET over hurdles. But the winning bumper and pointer has been keeping much better company than this with his latest fourth at Cheltenham having turned out to be very decent form - he has a chance to put things right today. Crickel Wood won over course and distance in November but hasn't been seen since falling in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot later that same month. Breath Of Blighty was no match for Buveur d'Air at Huntingdon in January but that was no disgrace and he has place claims again here. Celtic Tune is also worth considering and Bol D'air wasn't given a hard time at Kempton in January and better is expected today.
