Verdict

Just the five runners but still a tough little puzzle to work out with the four-year-old Teaser trying for a fencing hat-trick and his second C&D win. There ought to be more to come from him but his jumping has been somewhat wayward and that facet of his game may well cost him here. TIDAL WATCH from the stable that took this last year gives them a good chance of doubling up having shown that his best days over fences are in front of him when running an eye-catching third on debut; he may well appreciate this sharper trip. Admiral’s Sunset has gradually been getting better over fences, arguably a little unlucky not to win last time she has a good chance to make amends here.
