Verdict

Several potentially very useful novice chasers on show, with NO QUESTIONS ASKED taken to build on his debut success in this sphere at Ascot where he gave weight and a comprehensive beating to an odds-on shot from the Paul Nicholls yard. It's likely that the Nicholls stable will again provide the greatest threat in the shape of Regent's Stroll, who is a very bright chasing prospect. Wendigo is third on the list, but only marginally as both Crest of Fortune and Kingston Pride are also promising.

  2. REGENT'S STROLL (IRE)
  3. WENDIGO (FR)
