The win of EUREU DU BOULAY at Catterick last time came on the back of an impressive round of jumping and he may be able to follow up. Virnon is also penalised and appears to have a good chance of following up his Southwell win with Henry’s Joy and Knocknamona another duo who have been knocking on the door of late. The trainer of Solid Strike (Paul Collins) won this race last year with Dica and he should be noted for a market move.
