Verdict

NO WALKOVER was made to work harder than had initially appeared likely when landing a Chepstow bumper on debut 5 weeks ago but the way he went through the race on that occasion suggests he's capable of much better and David Pipe's 4-y-o is fancied to confirm as much and defy a penalty. Dan Skelton landed this 12 months ago and his point scorer Moments in Time also commands a look. Grazeon Sunshine and Wonder Flying are others worth a look in the finale.

  1. NO WALKOVER
  2. MOMENTS IN TIME (IRE)
  3. GRAZEON SUNSHINE
