In depth

Verdict

Missed Approach was heavily punted at Exeter in November but only managed fourth, 20 lengths behind Label Des Obeaux who has subsequently finished third in a decent contest at Cheltenham. Flintham was pulled up on his chasing debut last season but was a useful staying hurdler on his day and is capable of better. Casse Tete won by 10 lengths over a shorter trip at Auteuil in October but has his first run for Gary Moore. CAPTAIN CHAOS (NAP) did well to recover from a juddering mistake on the first circuit at Ascot last month. Up against more experienced novices, he wasn’t given a hard time after yet only finished three lengths behind subsequent Kauto Star hero Royal Vacation – he should go close today with a clear round.
