Verdict

With favourites and the Nicky Henderson stable having a good record in the short history of this race it is difficult to see past JENKINS who suggested he was a horse with a bright future when scoring last time. With further improvement likely he is taken to account for Elgin who beat a small field despite taking a keen hold last time. With a stronger pace likely here and in receipt of weight he will make things difficult for his main rival. Ballyhilllooks held on form and Glaring makes more each-way appeal. 1. Jenkins 2. Elgin 3. Glaring
