Verdict

According to the handicapper, FAR WEST has 20lb and upwards in hand over his three rivals and should be winning this with a clear round. He didn't jump very well behind Sire De Grugy at Chepstow last time but this is a much easier task. Lysino is a little quirky and hasn't raced for a while so Gentleman Jon could be the one for forecast-backers given he's been quite highly tried over fences so far.
