In depth
Verdict
Tim Vaughan runs Qoubilai and Wings Of Smoke in this but neither make much appeal at the weights. Drumshambo must have some sort of chance, however, as he won well at Ludlow on only his second start over fences while Ballywatt remains unexposed, though would probably prefer a bit further and hasn't raced since May. Roll The Dice could figure off bottom weight but Rimini appears to have lost his way and Mallusk is also best watched at present. BACK BOB BACK had some decent form last season, including in a couple of runs over today's C&D. He clearly needed his run at Chepstow last month and will be a danger to all today if now fully primed - Gerald Quinn's mount gets the nod.
