Verdict

Chapparal Prince receives plenty of weight from his principal rivals, however he has shown signs of temperament and a lack of heart so the vote goes to ANYTIME WILL DO. The Cheltenham entrant is ideally suied to these quick conditions and the form of his latest victory could hardly be working out better. Hes No Trouble showed promise on his hurdling bow in a race that has thrown up several winners since.However, his point-to-point victory was gained on much softer ground than this and as a result he is just passed over.
