Verdict

A cracking contest in store with persuasive cases able to be made for most but preference is for GREY DAWNING, who could hardly have been more impressive at Haydock last month and Dan Skelton's 6-y-o looks as though he's going to be one of the premier British-trained novice chasers this season. Crebilly looked a significant threat to Ginny's Destiny when departing late on here last month, so he may emerge as the main threat, with Trelawne rounding off the shortlist.

  1. GREY DAWNING (IRE)
  2. CREBILLY (IRE)
  3. TRELAWNE
