A mixture of experienced handicappers and potential improvers go to post here and on balance it looks to be the improvers that hold sway here. AFTER HOURS has the look of a mildly progressive one over fences and looked rather unlucky to run into a very well-handicapped winner last time out. This looks a good opportunity for him and he’s preferred to another one with potential in Virnon for whom the penny looks to be dropping over fences. Tara Bridge wasn’t disgraced on his chase debut while Dream Bolt has to be respected on his form in the summer if he can handle this deeper winter ground. 1. After Hours 2. Virnon 3. Tara Bridge
