Verdict

Mister Arjay is the choice in the final race, with Salinas and Honey's Gift two others in with a shout. Mister Arjay was twice a winner on the Flat for Gerard Butler and since his attention was turned to hurdles, has twice been in the frame. Both races, at Wetherby and Musselburgh, were against opponents just as good, if not better than those he meets here, and providing that he can handle the sharp contours, is the one to beat. Having said that, Salinas should make a race of it as he was no slouch for Christian Von Der Recke and was behind Fundamentalist at Newbury last time. That form is not bad as it turns out, so he is the main danger. Honey's Gift has yet to win any sort of race but was a fair third at Warwick last time, and Prince of Persia is improving slowly. Still Speedy has yet to show what he can do as he was well regarded before making his bumper debut a couple of years ago. Tiger Tops makes his timber debut so is best watched, and on the evidence so far, Mister Arjay is the pick.
