Verdict
Both of Captain Peacock’s victories over hurdles so far have come at Bangor and, like SEROSEVSKY, he carries a double penalty. Harry Fry’s charge was only beaten half-a-length in a decent handicap at Newton Abbot last time, however, and is the one to beat on that form. Truckers Lodge is having his first run for Paul Nicholls but was a progressive sort in the first half of the year for Tom George. Francky Du Berlais has finished second at Stratford and Southwell since returning from a break and has proved his stamina but it’s difficult to make a case for any of the others, who are all seeking a first victory under Rules.
