Verdict

Three young chasers in Chef D'Equipe, Crievehill and DRUMCLIFF are pitched against more streetwise campaigners and they may well hold sway. Preference is for the latter, who delivered less than he promised over hurdles, but looked suited to the switch to fences when successful at Wincanton and can show further improvement. Flaming Charmer looks best of those with plenty of chasing experience.
  1. Drumcliff
