Verdict

HELL HOUND is unexposed over fences and looks the pick of these on the back of a taking Southwell success last month. A sound surface seems to be the key to him and the seven-year-old can get the better of Loki's Mischief, who won here last time but needs to prove himself over this trip. Axel Bleue and Jack's Jury aren't out of it.

Top Tip: Hell Hound (1)
Watch out for: Loki's Mischief (3)

Axel Bleue brings some potential to fences as a former point scorer but LOKI'S MISCHIEF is already proven as a chaser after winning well over 2m5f at the course last time and he's taken to defy a 6lb rise. Hell Hound, like the selection off the mark at the second attempt over fences, is capable of further progress himself and is quite capable of defying his own 6lb rise despite top weight.
