Verdict

Kassala looked worth following when a facile winner at Hereford last time and is the TEAMtalk selection to overcome a subsequent 8lb rise. Alan King's scored with plenty in hand on that occasion and was value for more than the official winning margin. Fear Siuil has claims on his 2m4f win here in July but does not impress with his jumping technique and has not been seen out since being pulled up at Uttoxeter in August. Both Avanti Express and Grand Gousier have had problems and are probably best watched following spells on the sidelines.
