Verdict

Andy Wilson's 800 day wait for a winner might just end here with KINGS ECLIPSE in good form and likely to relish this stamina test. Jumping will be key on his chasing debut but if he passes that test he has an excellent chance. Smiling Jessica is a danger after good efforts in two chases this season. She got too far behind latest so hopefully blinkers will help her to stay in contention early. Ask Paddy had a profitable campaign last season and still has time on his side to continue his improvement. Stamina is an unknown but if he stays he is a big player.
  1. Kings Eclipse
  2. Smiling Jessica
  3. Ask Paddy
