Verdict
A horror of a race for punters but Lord Of The Land ran well enough in non-selling company and we will side with him on this occasion. That staying-on second behind Tyndarius at Hexham eight days ago looks to be decent form in the context of this race and today's amateur pilot has won on him before. Son Of A Gun was backed at bigger odds before disappointing in a Warwick handicap. He does make the odd mistake and the Wetherby fences will be none-too-forgiving. Wot No Cash fell when favourite for an Amateurs event at Fontwell on Monday. He is moderate yet consistent enough in this grade. Harem Scarem is dropped into selling class for the first time over chase fences. A reappearance effort earlier this month was a severe disappointment. Dan De Man is watched on reappearance. Lord Of The Land is given our verdict in a difficult contest.
