Verdict

This looks tricky but Nigel Twiston-Davies holds a strong hand with Goodbye Dancer and FRONTIER VIC. The latter goes well fresh since his absence since June is not a concern and the runner-up has been advertising the form of his course and distance victory in April. Maraweh is another who likes it here and he's had a spin on the Flat recently. Gold Chain is tough but Mango Cap and Brand Ambassador have questions to answer at present. Landecker hasn't won for two years and reappears in cheekpieces while Sun Cloud will probably be back over fences after this.
