Verdict

Another competitive affair in which many can be given chances. Duchamp is a course and distance winner who had every chance until unshipping his rider last time out. If his jumping holds up he will not be far away with conditions in his favour despite top weight. Log On Intersky is form a yard in top form and he won in good style at Catterick last time out when defeating Night Fighter. However he will need to improve again to win this off this his career high mark. Arctic Fancy would have a chance on his best form but has a long absence to overcome. Sharpastrizam is also a course winner, he has ran well on ground that has been against him this season. If the rain stays away he could run well at a big price. Shampooed has been in good form of late, she was a good second behind Prominent Profile last time out, but she looks in the handicappers grip at present. Super Nomad is well in on his best form. However he has been very disappointing of late, but if he were return to his best he would not be far away. Merry Minstrel could also go well off what looks a fair mark.
