Verdict

The most solid option is MOORE CLOUDS, who has won two of her last four starts and she has only gone up 1 lb for her latest success at Sedgefield. Berliet Express will be a threat if able to build on his latest Market Rasen effort, which was much his best since coming over from Ireland, and Treaty Boy could also be a factor on his chase debut.

  1. MOORE CLOUDS (IRE)
  2. BERLIET EXPRESS (IRE)
  3. TREATY BOY (IRE)
