Most of these don't win very often in what looks a difficult race to sort. Bonne Question is making his chasing debut at the age of 11 but is certainly the one to take close note of in the market but we'll give another chance to KEEP WONDERING as he's a consistent sort who is usually thereabouts, although there is a slight concern about the strength of his finishing effort sometimes. He's worth a chance though in what is a weakfish race. The Gipper is another who is usually on the premises and should be competitive and Driftwood Haze isn't ruled out off topweight and will be far more at home here over fences than when tailed off latest over hurdles in good company.
