Verdict

Antony Ebeneezer, Diamond Joshua and Free Will are three against the field in this wide open seller and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection was a fair fifth behind Very Tasty in a better race last time out and with the drop in trip and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Antony Ebeneezer rates the main danger on his best form. He was a fair second on the flat last time out behind Rolex Free but his form over hurdles leaves a lot to be desired although the booking of Tony McCoy catches the eye. Diamond Joshua is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Easy Sqeezy in this grade last time but he usually finds one or two to good. Of the remainder Adiysha is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Free Will.
