Verdict

It's still early days for TED THE THIEF who can follow up his admirable Taunton success. Lightonthewing should give another good account back over fences, while chase debutant Devilsrollthedice makes some appeal on his point form.

3	Ran up to his best from an advantageous position when narrow runner-up over hurdles at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and this veteran C&D winner is likely to be in the mix back over fences. 2nd Pick 3 Lightonthewing (Ire) Jockey: C.
