Verdict

In a tricky finale HAAFAPIECE is the suggestion having shaped as though he was coming to hand when fourth over C&D at the end of last month. There are plenty of other contenders, including top weight Regulation who bids to follow up his C&D win last time out. Exitas has the look of a potentially well handicapped horse if he can transfer his chase form to timber, while Jaboticaba and Weightfordave also have claims and may attract market interest.
