In depth

Verdict

Kilmackilloge is taken to get the better of Tous Chez and Lethem Air in a competitive finale. The selection has been threatening to win a race and his second over this course and distance behind Nikola on heavy ground last time sets the standard in this race. Tous Chez would have claims on his best form but he did not jump at all fluently last time and for that reason we will take him on. Lethem Air was narrowly behind Tous Chez last time and there may be more to come from him and he is certainly one that is worth a look in the market. Dispol Peto was a fair sort on the flat and he is sure to learn from his hurdling bow last time over this course and distance. He will not be good enough to trouble the leading lights though and we will stick with Kilmackilloge to lead them home.
