Verdict

All eyes will be on Chilling Place here and he gets a confident vote over Only Vintage and Rubberdubber. The selection created a very favourable impression when winning comfortably on his hurdling debut recently from the well-regarded Racing Demon at Wincanton and, all things considered, is hard to oppose on that basis. Chef Tartare, who has some French placed efforts to his name, Lead In The Head, who had shown promise in points before finishing second in a Ludlow bumper on his debut under Rules, promising Irish bumper winner Only Vintage - who is trained by Henrietta Knight, who also handles Racing Demon - and good Wincanton bumper winner Rubberdubber, who beat subsequent hurdling winner Quid Pro Quo in that race, look the only possible dangers, but the vote stays with Chilling Place.
