Verdict

All evidence points to Dan Skelton's novice NUBE NEGRA who pushed Esprit Du Large all the way up the Sandown hill last time out in Grade 1 company and that plus his two comfortable wins beforehand give him the most persuasive case today. Nigel Twiston-Davies, Nicky Henderson and Harry Whittington have all won this race in the last decade and their challengers Torpillo, Precious Cargo and Rouge Vif respectively all merit respect. The Seven Barrows representative looks open to most improvement.
  1. Nube Negra
  2. Precious Cargo
  3. Torpillo
