Verdict

The Patrick Haslam-trained Perchancer caught the eye on his chasing debut and is given the nod over Taleban, Green Go and In Extremis II, who already has something to find with the selection after their meeting at Sedgefield at the start of August. Perchancer was steady at his fences on that occasion but gave the impression that he will be winning races in due course. And, as this looks to be a pretty weak affair, it could be the ideal opportunity for the Perugino gelding to strike for his in-form yard.
