Cobreces is recommended as the selection although Denvale and Brer Bear are considered as dangers. Jamie Snowden has had a tremendous season in the saddle and he looks to have landed a plum mount with Cobreces. The partnership were a bit disappointing in the Foxhunters at Cheltenham but that had got on well at Haydock Park previously and can confirm form with Denvale. Caroline Bailey's runners always have to be respected and while Denvale has ability, he has disappointed on three recent starts and would not wish to see the ground dry out the interim. Brer Bear often gets outpaced in his races before delivering a late swoop. Backers of Christy Beamish at Stratford found this out to their cost! A stout stayer, he has a fair chance on the book. Moscow Court has won two point-to-points this season and the ex-Jessica Harrington runner is watched in the market. Toscanini looked a useful novice a few years ago but has sadly lost his way between the flags. Cobreces has a solid look to his form profile and should be up to seeing off these rivals this afternoon.
