Verdict
The Boss's Dream has managed to win six times in 26 starts, a fair return for a moderate performer, and though carrying a 7lb penalty for last week's Lingfield victory he's still on a lower mark than over hurdles. COOPERS SQUARE hasn't had much experience and was racing for only the second time over regulation fences when making all for a very convincing victory over 2m7f at Huntingdon. He has a 7lb penalty to contend with but if in the same kind of mood will take some catching. Evan Williams tries Abbeygrey in a visor after a couple of moderate runs and he's back on a mark from which he should be capable of a big run. The veteran Houndscourt has won five times over fences though does best at Market Rasen and was well beaten at Southwell last time while Babytaggle eventually paid for mistakes at Doncaster.
