Verdict

Green Ideal is a consistent performer and deserves to get his head in front but Ferdy Murphy's gelding is likely to once more find at least one too good in a race where preference is for Cordilla over Cambrian Dawn. The last mentioned would probably have made a winning start to his chase career but for falling two out at Hereford, however, he has twice failed to complete since then and a safer bet may be Cordilla. Admittedly the Nicky Richards-trained gelding has also failed to complete a chase but he looked unlucky when unseating Brian Harding at Bangor before getting bogged down in the mud at Chepstow last time. He may have too much class for his rivals and is taken to show his true ability today. Oliverjohn has shown ability but is inconsistent and of more interest may be Len Lungo's Jolika, who makes her debut over fences and may improve for the switch to the larger obstacles. Similar comments apply to stablemate Brave Lord but Cordilla may be different class to his rivals and he gets the vote.
