Verdict

The vote goes to AIRTOTHETHRONE, who made a fairly encouraging start over fences at Ludlow and he probably won't need to improve much on that bare form in order to go close here. Dan's Chosen came up short in a stronger race than this at Exeter and while it's slightly disconcerting that he found little at the business end he has to enter calculations. Lazy Sunday got no further than the first fence here a fortnight ago but she shaped well on her chase debut and is best of the rest.

  1. AIRTOTHETHRONE (IRE)
  2. DAN'S CHOSEN (IRE)
