Back over the railway fences I expect NICKLE BACK to be hard to beat and this looks the case of there being value in a favourite. He won the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase over C&D back in February and if returning to anything like that form will get back to winning ways shouldering top-weight. If you put a line through that Aintree run his form was really strong winning 3 of his first 5 starts over fences and the two defeats came at the hands of Hermes Allen and Master Chewy so it all stacks up. I know I’m not telling you much but Outlaw Peter does look the danger having impressed winning at Ayr last time. He is up another 4lb but should run well. Martator must also enter calculations.
