Verdict
WILBERDRAGON has only been unplaced once in his five runs over fences. He is starting to look exposed but this won't take much winning and he only weakened approaching the last on his reappearance at Fontwell. Favorito Buck's has disappointed so far and shares top weight in this with Boagrius, who may do better now going chasing having already won between the flags. Ken's Well has his first run for Jo Davis but did win a Wexford maiden hurdle in July. Compadre was second at Uttoxeter in May but ran a shocker on his return to action.
