In depth
Verdict
Character Actor has a first preference at Wincanton but is likely to find FRONTIER SPIRIT too good if taking part. The latter looks to have dropped down to a winning mark judged on his latest second at Fakenham and gets the vote to go one better here. Take Over Sivola is another to consider on the back of a victory at Lingfield though he's stepping up a grade today while Rouge Et Blanc is making steady progress and is another who could figure. Bendant has a 7lb penalty for his recent win over these fences but will need to improve again as he only scored by a neck last week.
