Verdict

A Tail Of Intrigue won over this trip over hurdles in September and hasn't fared badly over fences, winning in this grade at Huntingdon the following month. He's starting to come down the weights again and looks the danger to CHILL FACTOR. Anthony Honeyball's five-year-old was bidding for a four-timer over hurdles when sixth at Cheltenham last time but has always looked a chaser in the making and gets his chance to prove that theory correct today. Letbeso wasn't beaten far at Fontwell earlier this month and is now tried in a visor but Benevolent was beaten almost 20 lengths when third here last month. Canuspotit may need this but is worth noting for future reference.
