Verdict
Suzy Bull's Master T deserves to get his head in front having found one too good in each of his last three starts in points but he may have to settle for minor honours again with preference for OSCATELLO, who gets the vote ahead of Predateur. The last mentioned is the one of the highest rated of these having earned a rating of 125 but he looked beaten before falling four out behind Cedrus Libani at Ludlow in March on his most recent start and may be best watched now. Gold Heart was not disgraced behind Freeline Fury at Newton Abbot over a year ago when last seen under rules and has shown winning form between the flags of late so he has to be respected, while Rose Grissell's Mr Tee Pee is another that has shown better form in points of late but needs to improve to trouble the selection. The vote then goes the way of Ross Oliver's Oscatello, who was well held in a decent handicap hurdle at Cheltenham when last seen under rules over a year ago but having earned a rating of 128 over fences after winning a beginners' chase at Leicester previously, he has the ability to win this and has been showing that ability in recent starts in points.
