Race preview
STRINGTOYOURBOW put in an exhibition round of jumping en route to a comfortable all-the-way success over an extended 3m at Southwell last month and he is fancied to lead his rivals a merry dance once more. Cardamon Hill put in some good late work to score over an extended 2m7f here recently and he looks dangerous off 3lb higher, provided he copes with this step back in trip. The Churchill Lad is respected most out of the remainder.
