Verdict

WHATDEAWANT bumped into former Welsh National winner Nassalam at Hexham last month and a repeat of the form he showed there will make him hard to beat. Northern Bound needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort on his hunter debut but won a handicap chase as recently as October and may provide the chief threat ahead of John Dawson's mount Eagles Rock.
