Verdict

Gary Moore is the top trainer at this track and his LAJIDAAL has already won here over hurdles. He was quite highly tried on his chasing bow at Kempton and, though well beaten, will know more today. The top weight gets the nod with Josh Moore taking off 3lb. AP McCoy rides Catspan, a beaten favourite at Plumpton last time, for Charlie Egerton and he can make his presence felt while Doctor Ric was a winner between the flags. Join The Navy looks the pick of his stable's pair but Haydens Mount may be the best of the remainder.
