Verdict

Nicky Henderson won this race last year and connections will be hoping for better from Tanks For That whilst Theatrical Moment and Prince Taime are respected but PAUSE AND CLAUSE promises to be an exciting recruit. The selection ran a big race in a valuable handicap over the brush hurdles at Haydock although he was no match for the winner, Diamond Harry. Connections will have been delighted with that run and he'll be fancied to make his mark in this sphere with the drop in trip of no concern. Tanks For That's performance at Uttoxeter must be a concern for his supporters as he weakened tamely with fitness not deemed an excuse for the run. He attracted plenty of support that day and is deemed capable of better. Theatrical Moment produced a fine run in an Ascot handicap which gives him live claims although he does drop back significantly in trip whilst Prince Taime will need to jump far better than he did on his chase bow at Ascot if he's to take a hand in the finish. Rear Gunner showed a fair level of form over hurdles and is the most interesting of the remainder but he'll have no margin for error in a good quality race that can go to Pause And Clause.
