Verdict

The last four winners of this have all started at double-figure prices in a race where experience usually counts. That could be a negative for likely favourite Santini who has only had two races so far but has won them both and he does have course experience. The team behind Chris’s Dream had the second in this last year and he looks set to run well for them whileChef Des Obeaux has impressed with the way he has progressed and will handle conditions. The tough and genuine POETIC RHYTHM looks the ideal type for this test though; he appears to relish a real test and and he’s already shown himself capable at this level.
