ECHO EXPRESS looks a chaser likely to take considerably higher rank than the majority of these in time and although he jumped poorly last time he will no doubt have had plenty of schooling since so gets the vote. Alltimegold looks likely to have his best days ahead based on his promising start over fences and rates the biggest threat. Frankie Ballou may prove best of the rest.
