Verdict

An 8lb higher mark makes life tough for REGAL FLOW in his bid to win back-to-back renewals of this race, but the gelding might just be up to the task. He could also head on to Uttoxeter for another crack at the Midlands National after this if all goes to plan for him. Samuel Jackson likes a good test of stamina and is rated as the main danger to the selection. Achille has won his last two starts with something up his sleeve and could also be spoiler if he can raise his game once more.
  1. Rolling Dylan
