Verdict

This looks a good chance for SCAIRP DUBH to follow up his chase debut success over C&D at the beginning of the month. The chief threat may come from Dianne Sayer's Out On Her Own, who has been knocking at the door in handicap hurdles and a point background provides hope that she'll take to fences.

Betting on a horse to finish in the first three spots, which pays out the same whether they win or run second or third.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
