Verdict

Although a maximum turnout, it is a case of quantity rather than quality. Burwood Breeze looks to be harshly treated on what he has achieved so far and it would be something of a surprise if he was good enough to give the weight away, while First Officer, who has broken blood vessel's in the past, is another to face a difficult task, on this, his chasing debut. Executive Office comes into this at the top of his form, but he too looks to have a stiff task off this 9lbs higher mark. Snow Partridge is open to improvement, having just had the two outings over fences. He was a winner over this trip over hurdles and is one for the shortlist. However, a chance is taken with Diamond Hall, who is a massive 25lbs better off with Executive Office on their running at Warwick. Roberts Tudor's gelding will better suited by the drying ground and is taken to gain his revenge.
