In depth

Verdict

A small but competitive field go to post for this staying chase. Native Buck would have a chance on his second behind Kit Smartie however he has since being disappointing and his stable is woefully out of form.Ackzo was fourth in that race but he was outclassed on his last run at Chepstow. However this contest is a lot easier. Frantic Tan would also have a chance on his best form but he has become very disappointing of late, however he to is taking a major drop in class. Lunar Maxwell has been running well of late without winning and he could be in off a fair mark after a fair fourth behind Mr Woodentop last time. Tribal Run was second behind News Maker last time out over a much shorter trip. He will need to improve significantly for the step up in trip to trouble the judge.
