A potentially-informative maiden featuring several bumper and point-to-point winners likely to do well over timber coming up against the likes of Trevada and Ron Burgundy, who have already run well over hurdles. Stans The Man won a bumper here earlier in the month but CHIANTI CLASSICO may have his measure. He has won between the flags and in a bumper and only weakened inside the final furlong in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April when the previously unbeaten Henri The Second was struck into and pulled up. Galudon, Track And Trace and St Patricks Bridge are maidens worth a second look along with points winner Richhill, who is now with Dan Skelton.
