Verdict

BRINKLEY progressed into a smart hurdler last season and he promises to make an even better chaser judged on his winning reappearance at Huntingdon. He shades the vote over Imperial Alcazar, who made a perfectly satisfactory chasing debut at Newbury on his return. Storm Arising has the profile to make a chaser and is third best, with the others out of the handicap.

  1. BRINKLEY (FR)
  2. IMPERIAL ALCAZAR (IRE)
  3. STORM ARISING (IRE)
