Verdict

SYBARITE has only found one too good in both starts under Rules this year. On past form, he’s the class act in this but is also the senior runner and is likely to face plenty of opposition from the likes of the in-form Apple's Queen and Crack Of Thunder. Excitable Island was another to run well at Cheltenham’s hunter chase meeting earlier this month and recent points winners Swingbridge, West Lake and Supreme Danehill add to the interest.
