In depth
Verdict
A competitive handicap with the in-form Nick The Jewel sure to be a popular choice. However, he was far from convincing in landing a conditional jockeys race at Huntingdon, for which he escapes a penalty in this, and it would be a surprise if there wasn't something to beat him. Castle Prince and Canadiane look to have plenty on at the top of the handicap as does Native Fling, who has appeared to lose his way over fences. Cameron Bridge and See You Around both reserve their best for here, but the vote goes to Cobbet, who has shown enough in his two chases to date, that he can make his mark over the larger obstacles.
