Verdict
Venceremos won a couple of bumpers but has proved a big disappointment so far over hurdles and it will be a surprise if there are not at least a couple to beat her here. Audacious Plan was fourth in a Ffos Las bumper on his only racecourse appearance but NEVILLE and Premier Portrait are more battle-hardened. Both have point-to-point experience but Philip Hobbs' charge may have more speed having landed a Uttoxeter bumper in June ahead of more experienced rivals. Typical Oscar has also won a point-to-point and looks the pick of the remainder.
