A wide-open contest with preference going to the unraced under Rules Wild Chimes ahead of stablemate Azzemour and the consistent Purple Patch. The selection is usefully bred for National Hunt racing and has had the experience of some races in the point-to-point field. Indeed he has already won a race and if translating that form to the level will be hard to beat. Stablemate Azzemour ran well on his only appearance to date and is a well-related sort. He should improve for that debut run and should run his stablemate close. Purple Patch has run well on her three appearances without threatening to win. Her experience should stand her in good stead here though but she may still not be good enough to beat the selection Wild Chimes.
