In depth
Verdict
One Term disappointed back over hurdles last time having won a chase over course and distance off a 6lb lower mark before that. Wadswick Court was still beaten a long way when runner-up over these fences recently and SONNEOFPRESENTING is preferred. Kim Bailey’s charge has another hike in the weights to contend with but won easily at Fontwell last month and the hat-trick beckons. Chestnut Ben is not badly treated if at his best but the rest are harder to fancy.
