Verdict

Most of these would be more at home in selling company. Lodestar, who has shown a little ability over fences, looks to have been found the ideal opening to lose his maiden tag over timber. Sent chasing after just one run in a bumper, the six-year-old has yet to jump hurdles in public, but this is a weak contest and he should prove too strong for his rivals. Igenu, the winner of a novice event at Haydock, may find this ground on the fast side for him, while Olitheaga, the winner of a bumper on fast ground at Huntingdon nearly a year ago, has plenty to prove after a dismal effort at Hereford back in February. Of the others Ollie Magern and Soaring Monarch, both from powerful yards, have plenty too prove.
