Verdict

ESPOIR DE ROMAY hasn't been seen since a disappointing comeback run at Carlisle in October but he had Chantry House in trouble before falling 2 out in the Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree on his final start last season and a reproduction of that form would make him very much the one to beat. Dingo Dollar rates the main threat with stamina doubts surrounding Itchy Feet and Nuts Well.
