Charlieadams looks the one to beat here. He won two hunter chases and was placed here in that grade before joining Lennie Lungo and making a successful debut for his new yard over CD from That's All Folks and Orange Order and he should confirm that form. Free To Run scored at Cartmel and Hexham in June and was runner-up here last month, so will go well again, but Chaparro Amargoso is inconsistent and has problems with breaking blood vessels. Weaver George won five off the trot last autumn including over this CD and was not disgraced in a good race at Perth last week, but Specialize and Nosam continue below form
