The ability to jump fences is the key question in this contest. Over hurdles, Kings Bandit would make massive appeal and, while he's entitled to be winning this, jumping does not look to be his forte and therefore he is hard to recommend at what will likely be prohibitive odds. Cloudy Morning also has credentials on his hurdling form but didn't impress on his recent chase debut. On that basis a chance is taken with CROSSHUE BOY, himself a decent hurdler and fit from a recent spin in that sphere ahead of this first assignment over the larger obstacles. The remaining trio may need something to go wrong if they are going to have a major say.

1. Crosshue Boy
2. Kings Bandit
3. Cloudy Morning
