Verdict

At first glance a competitive handicap chase, but on closer inspection, one horse stands out above the others, and that is the unexposed market leader THOMAS PATRICK. An 8lb rise for last month's emphatic Newbury success could be considered lenient, and with his trainer in flying form, his rider unrivalled over fences and the weather presenting ideal underfoot conditions, he is ultra competitive from a nice racing weight of 10st 10lbs. Both Rocklander and Ibis Du Rheu ran well at Cheltenham (2m4f) but have stamina to prove over this longer trip and same for Oldgrangewood. Therefore, the chief threat could come from recent 3m Fairyhouse winner Paper Lantern.
