Verdict

With the Paul Nicholls team in flying form TIMEFORATUNE is well worth another chance to show he can translate his bumper ability to hurdles. Far Sight won his sole bumper in convincing fashion and may give the selection most to do ahead of the Joe Tizzard point recruit Western General.

  1. TIMEFORATUNE
  2. FAR SIGHT
  3. WESTERN GENERAL (IRE)
