Cavalry Scout (5/1), Border Victor (5/1), Imperial Prince (5/1), Speak Of The Devil (6/1), Asking For Answers (9/1), Bertie Blake (9/1), Westend Theatre (10/1), Gatacre Street (11/1), Letemgo (12/1), Definite Wisdom (14/1), Bene Regina (16/1), Hard Knocks (20/1), Road Warrior (20/1), Into The Breach (40/1)

Verdict

Another modest contest on paper, and somewhat of a thankless task in terms of identifying the likeliest winner with only traces of reliable chasing form on offer. Imperial Prince has stacks of experience over fences (0-15), most notably on the west coast of Scotland at Ayr and he's undoubtedly capable of winning a race of this nature, while Gatacre Street is one top keep an eye upon in the market exchanges. However, without any degree of conviction the pin falls on the top-weight SPEAK OF THE DEVIL for the bang-in-form Lucinda Russell. Out of his depth behind a 132-rated hurdler at Hexham latest, he could be the type to improve for the switch to the larger obstacles.
  1. Speak Of The Devil
  2. Imperial Prince
  3. Definite Wisdom
