In depth
Verdict
Ben Pauling doesn’t have many runners at this time of year so OGBOURNE DOWNS’ presence here is probably significant. He’s had a couple of runs on the Flat since joining the yard and can put his natural speed to good use if there is no more rain. Those with hurdling experience are modest but Bise D'estruval could figure with a clear round and Amanto has shown ability in the past. Jackblack has only finished out of the frame once over timber so looks the pick of the remainder.
