Verdict

The Phillip Kirby/Tommy Dowson duo are in top form at present after taking the North Yorkshire Grand National at Catterick during the week, and their Niven took a step back in the right direction when runner-up over slightly further here on Boxing Day. He has solid claims if able to build on that despite his 1-12 strike rate over fences. C&D winner Ballyvic Boru is also in the mix after running respectably in third over C&D last month. The one they all have to beat is the classy HAWK HIGH who runs off the same mark he finished second off in the Castleford Chase over C&D last month. He bumped into one then and in this weaker contest he remains unexposed over fences.
