Verdict

Plenty of question marks against the majority of these runners. Chestnut Ben should run another big race having appeared better than ever since the turn of the year despite reaching the ripe old age of twelve. Gambol has been in good shape over hurdles but returns to fences with an obvious point or two to prove, whilst Boss Des Mottes has to really prove he wants to race at all nowadays with the blinkers applied. VODKA WELLS was a promising sort as a novice chaser and ought to have really won more races than he has. He hasn't been with this yard for too long, and whilst he was possibly held when blundering at Wetherby recently, this combination of fast ground and an undulating track can suit this prominent racer if settled in nicely by Brian Hughes behind the habitual trail blazer Toledo Gold.
