LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): F O’Brien (43 wins from 220 runners, 20%) runs OSLO TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J Owen (5 wins from 27 runners, 19%) runs ENTHUSED & KING OTIS LONGEST TRAVELLER: SCOTS POET trained by E Whillans, Hawick, 233 miles.
A tight finale in which it might be worth chancing unexposed handicap newcomer JACOBS ACRE, with the form of his latest Worcester second boosted. Fergal O’Brien’s Oslo is second choice ahead of Enthused, who should find this a bit easier than the competitive Summer Hurdle he contested at Market Rasen last weekend.
