In depth
Verdict
Towcester chase winner Crazy Jack disappointed at Doncaster last time and Neville makes his chasing bow after a string of placed efforts over hurdles. Couldhavehaditall and Ballydague Lady have a shout and Canuspotit was still in contention when brought down at Market Rasen. Judge Davis has been thereabouts at Exeter of late but Cartmel winner BIG CASINO drops down a grade for this after a decent effort at Aintree and the Twiston-Davies charge may well be good enough in this company.
