Verdict

BOLSOVER BILL lost his form for Warren Greatrex but, having been given a break by the handicapper and freshened up by his new stable, he might be worth chancing to bounce back. Last-time-out C&D winner Time To Bite needs considering and Merry Monty is of interest over fences for the first time.

  1. BOLSOVER BILL (IRE)

  3. MERRY MONTY
