Verdict

Dancing Meadows still had every chance when falling at the second-last on her first try over fences. Gordon Elliott's mare has won two bumpers and a hurdle so should have a future over the larger obstacles but may find WARRIORS TALE too strong today. Paul Nicholls' charge struggled off high marks in staying handicaps over hurdles last season but starts the new campaign on level terms over fences and will know his job. Tradewinds looks the pick of the remainder but may just need the experience today.
