Verdict

Despite the fact that he’s yet to win over fences the two starts that HURRICANE DYLAN has made over the bigger obstacles mark him down as one to note in this sphere. The better ground and the slightly shorter trip will suit him here and this is a good opportunity to open his chasing account. Lex Talionis appears to be a hard ride but Harry Bannister knows him well and it won’t be a surprise to see him make the frame again even if it is under duress. Not many of the others make much appeal although Gold Patrol deserves another chance to show that his Huntingdon run was the one to take at face value with Jarlath in with a chance if his jumping holds up.
  1. Hurricane Dylan
  2. Gold Patrol
  3. Lex Talionis
