Realistically only the top four runners can be considered. Both Chateau Chinon and Celtic Flames are likely to leave their previous form behind now switched to fences. The former debuts for a new trainer, whilst the latter is race-fit, and has always looked a future chaser rather than a hurdler. Ninepointsixthree has been brought along steadily by Sam England, and clearly has ability, but a whole host of difficulties at the start to go with it, so a clear preference is for JUST MINDED. Despite falling on his recent Carlisle fences debut, he's expected to handle these testing conditions best of all, and with his hurdles form clearly the strongest on offer, and stamina a likely strength (rather than speed), it'll be no surprise to see this six-year-old racing to the fore early under Danny Cook.
