A small but competitive field for this novice chase. Isio won so impressively at Kempton last time out when he defeated Shareef convincingly under similar conditions he will be hard to beat despite his penalty. Midland Flame rates the main danger, he is from a top yard and was a fair second behind Got One Too last time out. This faster ground should suit and he will not be far away. Captains Table won well over course and distance a couple of runs ago but he was very disappointing at Kempton last time out and for that reason he is readily opposed. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to score but if anything was to happen to the principals, Kamloops could go well at a big price with his stable in top form.
