In depth

Verdict

Janal is out of form and has a lot of work to do to compete here whilst Colditz is worth avoiding having unseated his rider on his only chase run and with precious little form over hurdles prior to this. Peak Seasons doesn't have a brilliant strike rate but he has won here before and could be in the equation by making some of the early running. Devil's Delight makes a chasing bow and is swerved, as is Ice Image who has never won before. STOLEN LIGHT is the pick as he may have more to offer over the fences after a good third at Perth last time out. He has the most convincing case and gets the call.
