This looks to concern three or possibly four of this field with BILL AND BARN given the vote as he has won here over C&D and goes unpenalised for that win. He looked to have taken another step forward last time when running well over fences and he should be able to hold off his main rival in Rock My Style who came back to form last time and will appreciate this trip. Pauls Hill may need another strongly run race to be seen at his best although this stamina sapping course and trip will suit him. This Is It needs to bounce back from two modest runs although the short break may have done he good and he’ll certainly handle conditions.
