Verdict

These contests are almost impossible to predict with only breeding and the market to guide us. SCHAP's sire is still something of an unknown quantity but her dam has produced jumps winners with her first four foals to race so we'll take a chance on David Loder's filly. Otter Moon is by proven jumps sire Midnight Legend so warrants respect and the Kapgarde gelding Ain't No Limits represents a stable that is in good form, though none of the seven runners can be dismissed out of hand.
