Verdict
SUSTAINABILITY has only managed one win from his five starts over fences so far but has shown a decent level of form overall and should be able to double his tally here against three rivals. Cool Cascade may give him most to do as she did manage to win a race over hurdles last summer, which is more than Hightown and One For The Boss have managed so far. The former was rated 12lb higher than the latter over timber but has been pulled up in two of his last three starts.
