    Verdict

    Barring accidents, Pure Faith looks to have little chance against two top-notch chasers. MASTER MINDED beat Albertas Run by nine lengths over C&D in the Melling Chase in April. The runner-up is 10lb better off now but Paul Nicholls' former champion chaser has reportedly been working well at home in preparation for his reappearance and is fancied to come out on top again as Jonjo O'Neill's stable star generally comes to hand later in the season and was a well-beaten fourth in this 12 months ago.
