Verdict

Haunted House was held when falling last time out so we will side with Ian Williams' Nimby Run, with Charlie's Double and Nabir heading the shortlist. The selection was no great shakes over hurdles in Ireland, however he has improved over fences and looks to be on a feasible mark. His second reads fairly well in the context of this race, and despite being out of the handicap today he looks to hold solid claims. His trainer has a 50% record with his chasers here and so the 9-year-old gelding gets the tentative vote. Nabir looks to be on a stiff-enough mark now, however he is consistent enough so has place claims, as does Charlie's Double who takes a big drop in class after being tonked in Grade Two contests. This looks much more his level and he is of interest given his trainer's good form. Rowdie Yeats makes his chase debut today and would be of interest if the money came for him, however we will tentatively return to Nimby Run as our idea of the winner.
