Verdict

A cracking staying chase in which cases can be made for plenty. However, preference is for THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE, who pulled clear with a progressive sort on return in the Badger Beer at Wincanton 5 weeks ago and Paul Nicholls' charge can register his fifth success over the larger obstacles. Broadway Boy made it 2-3 in this sphere when bolting up here last month, so he looks a serious threat on handicap debut, with Easy As That and City Chief also fancied to feature.

  1. THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE (IRE)
  2. BROADWAY BOY (IRE)
  3. EASY AS THAT (IRE)
