Forecasts

Saint Xavier (6/4), I K Brunel (8/5), Some Chaos (9/2), Baron De Midleton (8/1)

Verdict

Some Chaos faces a very different test switching to hurdles having competed in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in November, with his connections probably attracted by the combined prospect of a small field and drying ground. Furthermore, with I K Brunel having to prove himself stamina-wise over this 3m trip the most logical approach is to stick with the standard bearer SAINT XAVIER. Paul Nicholls charge was deeply impressive when dominating a three-runner affair at Kempton (3m½f, good to soft) three weeks ago.
