Verdict

Tough to rule any of these out but CUDGEL has finished in the money on 7 of his 9 chase starts so James Walton's charge gets the tentative vote to finally get off the mark in this sphere. The main threat could be Prince Dundee, who went down by just a neck in a stamina-sapping contest at Hexham 6 weeks ago, with last year's winner Charlie Snow Angel completing the shortlist.

  1. CUDGEL
  2. PRINCE DUNDEE (IRE)
  3. CHARLIE SNOW ANGEL
