Verdict

Very modest fayre on offer here and despite top weight it could be worth siding with THE KINGS WRIT, who has shown promise over hurdles and comes into this chase debut on the back of a couple of confidence-boosting point-to-point wins. Parlour Maid ran well at Ludlow last time and she should be competitive on her introduction to chasing, while Oneida Tribe, Pinch Of Ginger and Ballyegan Warrior are the more eyecatching of the remainder on paper.
  1. The Kings Writ
