In depth

Verdict

A nice prize and a quality line-up. Chosen Mate won the Grand Annual at Cheltenham in March and has scored on the Flat this summer. Sizing Pottsie won a Grade 3 novices' chase in March and only just failed to hold the very smart Felix Desjy in a Punchestown Grade 2 last month. DALY TIGER looked a much-improved chaser when comfortably holding off Tornado Flyer in a Grade B handicap on the latter track and though 10lb higher his rider's claim takes care of half of that. Off You Go, a very useful hurdler, has yet to score in five starts over fences though shouldn't be long in doing so judging by a fine run at Cork but Entoucas will need to step-up on his two runs in beginners' events.
