Verdict

This looks likely to be between the previous winners, and the obvious one is FAIR MOUNTAIN. Dan Skelton's charge took a big step forward on his second start over hurdles at Bangor last time to win with any amount in hand, and even under a penalty he should prove tough to beat if able to run to the same level. He can get the better of recent handicap scorer OfcourseIwill, followed by course bumper winner Staged Engagement.
