Two Miles West is impossible to oppose here with Tycoon Hall and Jamaaron rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Bagan last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race, and under conditions that suit with the drop in distance also looking to be in his favour, he will be hard to beat. Tycoon Hall rates the main danger on his best hurdles form. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chase debut and with his yard in form he will not be far away. Jamaaron was sixth behind Not Today Sir last time out but that form leaves him with plenty to find. Of the remainder Nev Brown has shown glimmers of ability but still remains a maiden after 13 attempts, and with this in mind Two Miles West need only put in a fluent round of fencing to score.
