At The Races Verdict

This isn't as competitive as the numbers would suggest and the vote goes to TED THE THIEF. Robert Walford's six-year-old has run well on both of his starts over fences, most recently finishing third at Wincanton. That, at the very least, suggested he is up to winning races at this level and with further improvement anticipated, he should go close. Faitque De L'Isle let favourite-backers down at Windsor but is more appealing than many. Watchoutitscookie returns to fences following a good second over hurdles.

Expert View Verdict

There may still be more to come from TED THE THIEF, who has taken well to fences building on his Fontwell fourth with a rock-solid third over a longer trip than this at Wincanton last time. He remains on a basement mark and, just a 6yo, could still be on the up. Watchoutitscookie made a pleasing reappearance over hurdles and, proven as a chaser, could have more to offer back over the bigger obstacles. Staff Sergeant Len could pose a threat also if making a quick reappearance, having been in with a chance when falling two starts back.
