Verdict
MASTER MEDIC won this a year ago for Sally Alner and though now well into the veteran stage may be good enough for a repeat in receipt of 4lb from the prolific point-to-point winner Gwanako. Rose Loxton's charge has been carrying all before him between the flags and it should be a real battle between the pair. How's My Friend arrives in winning form but doesn't win very often while Delta Borget has never won over regulation fences and has had plenty of opportunities.
