Verdict

Disappointing that just three turn up for this decent prize and it may be that DEE EE WILLIAMS has scared a few of them off. Nick Gifford's seven-year-old returns to chasing, where he previously made the frame once in three attempts, after a successful stint back over hurdles earlier in the year. He was much better than the other pair in that sphere and his trainer clearly has not given up hope that he can claim some decent prizes over fences. A clear round will make this classy performer tough to beat. On paper there is little to choose between Oddshoes and Quasar D'Oudairies, but the latter has always looked a chaser and might be able to win that particular argument.
