This looks a match between Well Chief and Azertyuiop with the vote going to the last named. The selection was just in front of Well Chief last time out when they were second and third respectively behind Moscow Flyer and although well chief is better off at the weights here Azertyuiop is taken to confirm superiority over him as he is likely to be fitter here and he is taken to put his fluent jumping to good use. Well Chief is sure to have his supporters at these weights but he can still be novicey on occasions and for that reason he is opposed. Mister McGoldrick is sure to run his honest race but he is better with a lot more cut in the ground and for that reason he is over looked. Of the remainder Kadarann and Armaturk have place claims but look to have plenty to find with the two principals and for the winner we return to Azertyuiop
