Another competitive field goes to post for this novices chase and the principals look to be Wagner, Arabian Moon and Attack and we will take a chance on Wagner. The six year old has been a revelation since being switched to fences and with conditions again in his favour he is hard to oppose. Arabian Moon rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Haafel but that was over a shorter trip and he has yet to prove he strays this far. Of the remainder Rutledge Red is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market while Attack is sure to improve on his latest third behind Sturm Und Drang but we are happy to side with the bang in form Wagner.
