Dharoos is an interesting newcomer given this trainer/rider combination teamed up to land two gambles at Hexham last week. His lack of experience could find him out against seasoned campaigners such as COOLE CODY and Braquer D'Or who have achieved a high enough standard to be considered the most likely pair to fight this one out. The latter has improved for the switch to fences having looked far more modest over hurdles. If reproducing his chase form here then the weight allowance he receives would make him hard to beat. At the forecast odds it may be more prudent to side with COOLE CODY who has an official rating 11lb higher and who appears to possess greater speed.
