Verdict

A terrific graduation chase. Hell's Kitchen, fourth to Altior in the Champion Chase, sets a high standard but usually needs a run or two to reach his peak, so in receipt of 11lb MIDNIGHT SHADOW is fancied to overcome his chasing inexperience to score. Last term's Relkeel Hurdle winner has a proper engine and his yard does so well with its chasers. Irish raider Djingle is very interesting going in search of a hat-trick, while Chesterfield and Louis' Vac Pouch are respected, along with the 2017 winner Nuts Well.
