Verdict

A disappointing turnout but this may still prove an informative contest. El Namoose is the only one with experience of jumping fences having finished second to Sametegal at Huntingdon. He's proven on the ground so can't be ignored but THOMAS BROWN may have more class. He found Grade 1 company too hot over hurdles in the spring but has won twice in bumpers and over timber and looks the type to make a chaser. The mare Bon Chic was no slouch over the smaller obstacles last season and neither was Remind Me Later, though the latter generally preferred faster going.
