Verdict

A smart handicap chaser in his pomp, LORD DU MESNIL gets the nod to make a successful start in this discipline and provide owner/jockey David Maxwell with another winner at the expense of Eva's Oskar, who could prove a tough nut to crack pitched into a hunter chase if anywhere near his best following a 15-month absence (trainer/jockey combination successful in similar event at Taunton earlier in month). Lift Me Up and Bennys King can fight out minor honours.

  1. LORD DU MESNIL (FR)
  2. EVA'S OSKAR (IRE)
  3. LIFT ME UP (IRE)
