This looks a match between Reivers Moon and Plutocrat and the vote goes to Reivers Moon. The selection has been in fair form of late over hurdles and won well last time out when defeating Russian Sky and if he can bring that level of form to the track on his first try over fences he will be hard to beat Plutocrat rates the main danger on hurdles form but he lacks the scope of the selection and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Rare Society showed a modicum of ability in point to points and is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Whitfield Warrior at least has chase experience but he has plenty to find with the principals on their hurdles form and a place may be the best he can hope for if the principals put in a clear round and for the winner we return to Reivers Moon.
