In depth

Verdict

Another wide open affair but the TEAMtalk selection is Paco Venture. The former Irish trained gelding has gone from strength since joining Venetia Williams' yard and he is taken to score on his first attempt in handicap company. Darapour rates the main danger as he is from a yard in good form and has been placed in listed hurdles. However, he gives the impression he should have won more than he has. Queen's Pageant won well at Taunton last time out when defeating Field Master but has a penalty for that win and this is a much harder race. Barcelona has been running well without winning of late in better races but he has given the impression he is weighted up to the hilt. Snowmore looked an improved performer this season but he disappointed at Cheltenham last time out and he may be better over a longer trip. Bekstar is a course winner but his best form of late has been over longer trips on faster ground.
