Verdict
Don Pooleoni and Sir Cool will need more rain to compete in this race but are interesting options if their favoured ground conditions come. Hes Our Lad is related to a bumper winner and the market will provide a guide to his chances. HEAD OF CHAMBERS showed nothing in his only start to date but the booking of Tony McCoy is a positive and Lawney Hill is 2-5 in bumpers at Worcester in recent seasons. Kartanian may be a big threat on debut as his dam was a Listed winner over middle distances.
