Verdict

Jamie Snowden's STAREVITCH is a winning Irish pointer and showed some promise kept to 2m over hurdles so is worth siding with to make a successful start in this sphere now sent over a much longer trip. Dual chase scorer Born At Midnight has experience on his side and rates the obvious threat, with Jack Doyen weighted to have a say too.
