Verdict

If Apple's Jade bounces back to form, she's probably going to be hard to beat, but WILLIAM HENRY is an interesting runner on his second start since a wind operation, stepping up to three miles for the first time. A repeat of Sam Spinner's effort at Cheltenham should see him go close but his disappointing run when a short-priced favourite in the race last year is still fresh in the memory. West Approach has been keeping some smart company this campaign and could go well at an each-way price.
  1. William Henry
  2. Apple's Jade
  3. Sam Spinner
