Verdict

Mossy Fen is bred for jumping and has already won a point-to-point. Only four, he is getting plenty of weight from the two previous winners in this contest so shouldn’t be ignored. Storm Arising n a Wincanton maiden in March but couldn’t cope with a penalty next time. DOLPHIN SQUARE carries a double penalty but owner/rider David Maxwell takes off 3lb and his mount is already a winner around here. The step up in trip is certain to suit so he gets the vote. Shanroe In Milan has ability but the winning chaser hasn’t raced over hurdles in almost two years.
