In depth

Verdict

Speed Steed and Nicky Nutjob have both been in action over jumps. But the shorter trip on firm ground may not suit while the maiden Fusicho has an extra half-mile to cover having finished third over 1m2f at Nottingham four weeks ago. RED CURRENT has his quirks but is well treated on his best form and is a previous course and distance winner. Willie Twiston-Davies' claim may just tip things his way this evening as Numen looks a shadow of his former self and Glens Wobbly is getting no nearer.
