      Verdict

      CHINGACHGOOK isn't easy to win with as everything must drop just right but Tristan Davidson appears to be getting the key to him as the Al Kazeem gelding has already scored over hurdles for the yard and ran an excellent race last time when under 2l fifth to Where's Jeff in the Cumberland Plate. He ties in very closely with Volcanic Sky who was third on that occasion but there was only about a length between them and the selection is 1lb better off. Ben Curtis is booked and he's got a chance of turning the form around if things pan out right. C'Est No Mour should be competitive off 79 but hasn't won since September 2017 and Quicksand is arguably where the handicapper wants him so Matewan is nominated as next on the list with conditions to suit.
