Verdict

A winner over C&D in October CHAPEL GREEN dispelled some lesser displays when fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (17.1f) 6 weeks ago and having slipped 2 lb below his last winning mark, he could be worth chancing to build on that back at this venue. Heritier is operating at the top of his game and is feared, with Cudgel and Gandhi Maker a couple of others to consider in a competitive contest.

  1. CHAPEL GREEN (IRE)
  2. HERITIER (FR)
  3. CUDGEL
