4/9
Smart hurdler who has exceeded that level over fences with an impressive 10L defeat of Virgilio. Went down narrowly to the RSA runner-up Whisper on his next start. Struggled around Sandown last time but these fences present an easier test. Stable won this in 2013.

2/1
Was not rated that far behind Clan Des Obeaux over hurdles. Winner of two novice chases here earlier this season and has been found out by softer ground in two starts since. Will ask questions of his rivals with his relentless galloping.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-12| J: Theo Gillard(7)| T: Mark Gillard| OR:  71
100/1
Without a win since 2014. Connections will be hoping for a clear round and third prize money.

Forecasts

Clan Des Obeaux (4/9), Drumlee Sunset (2/1), Oscars Way (100/1)

Verdict

CLAN DES OBEAUX has a lot in hand of his rivals based on BHA ratings. He will be better for the break and can account for Drumlee Sunset who has already shown a liking for these obstacles. He will attack his fences and set a good pace on this quicker ground in an attempt to expose any weakness in the favourite. Oscars Way looks well out of his depth.
  1. Clan Des Obeaux
  2. Drumlee Sunset
  3. Oscars Way
