Verdict

Pencreek and Light N Strike make their chasing debuts with the latter looking more favourably handicapped on hurdling form. Ballinsker has struggled over fences so far but both Naizagai and ISOLATE placed over the larger obstacles last time. The former found one too good at Sedgefield but the latter’s second to the progressive Courtland at Newton Abbot looks stronger form so Alan King’s charge gets the vote.
