Verdict

SLIEVEGAR arrives on the back of two creditable efforts over fences and he's shown enough to suggest he can win a race of this nature. He's preferred to Getthepot who faces a sharper test here but cannot be ruled out in his current form while Backinaction is still lightly-raced over fences but needs to get his jumping together.

3	Multiple point winner retains the ability to be competitive under rules, looking in control prior to faltering badly when runner-up at Warwick (25.5f) in May and not disgraced over a trip on the sharp side when third at Newton Abbot (21f) last month. Should give a good account back up in trip. 1st Pick 3 Slievegar Jockey: Mr Toby Mccain-Mitchell Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Mr Toby Mccain-Mitchell T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	100	-	-	-	50%

5	Typically hasn't been the easiest to catch right but has strung together a hat-trick of runner-up finishes, the latest in a 6-runner chase at Southwell (24.3f) on first start following a breathing operation. Faces a sharper test here but cannot be ruled out in his current form. 2nd Pick 5 Getthepot (Ire) Jockey: Kielan Woods Trainer: David Killahena & Graeme Mcpherson J: Kielan Woods T: David Killahena & Graeme Mcpherson	99	-	-	-	29%

4	Irish point winner who got back on track after 9 months off when second at Newton Abbot (25.8f) last month but proved a disappointment when let down by his jumping over the same C&D 9 days ago. Still on a fair mark if jumping issues can be ironed out. 3rd Pick 4 Backinaction (Ire) Jockey: Adam Wedge Trainer: Evan Williams J: Adam Wedge T: Evan Williams	98	-	-	-	17%
