Race preview
CHRISTOPHER WOOD won twice on the Flat and is expected to know his job now making his NH bow for Paul Nicholls. Westbrook Bertie landed a C&D maiden hurdle on his penultimate outing and is the one expected to put up most resistance, despite failing to justify favouritism at Huntingdon last time. The pick of the remainder may be Flaminger, a French import having his second start for Gary Moore.
