Verdict

This is a competitive novices' chase in which Stormy Lord, Supreme Developer and Bold Bishop look to be the leading players and the vote is given to Stormy Lord. The selection is a big strong galloper and he won in emphatic fashion last time when beating Wild Power. He is clearly on an upward curve and as he remains unexposed he should take plenty of beating. Supreme Developer ran well when a close second behind Imperial Dream last time and he has an obvious chance. He should make the frame here, but he is developing a habit of finding one too good and that may be the case again here. Bold Bishop was useful over hurdles and he has to be of interest now that he goes over the bigger obstacles. However, he has not been seen out since April and he may just need the run. Compadre fell on his seasonal reappearance, but he is another to consider. However, for the winner we are happy to stick with Stormy Lord.
