Mr Bigglesworth,Beaugency and Kalou look the three to concentrate on in the opener and the narrow vote is given to Mr Bigglesworth. The selection won well last time out when beating ;Lawgiver. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Beaugency rates the main danger Lutin De Moulin but he has a little to find with the selection on hurdles form so is opposed. However as he hails from the same yard he should be noted in the market. Kalou is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Nowator and at least he has chasing experience. Of the remainder Adjawar was a fair second behind Serena Special but that was in a seller and he will need to improve for the switch to fences to score. This is a crappy affair and a lot will depend on the jumping but for the winner we return to Mr Bigglesworth.
