Verdict

Not a field packed with the most reliable types and although both Value At Risk and Casablanca Mix are capable of winning something like this neither come here with outstanding credentials and both have their quirks. Indian Temple will appreciate a return to this track after taking the runner-up slot in this last year and these fences will suit his front-running style a lot better. KNOCKGRAFFON always looks at home over this trip and despite losing his unbeaten Musselburgh record last time is taken to get back on the winning trail here; he’s a lot more reliable than all of these. Lofgren wouldn’t be out of this either although he would need to return to his autumn form.
  1. Knockgraffon
  2. Indian Temple
  3. Value At Risk
