Major Blue, Another Conquest and Charlies Future are three against the field in this poor beginners chase and the vote is given to Another Conquest. The selection was a fair second behind Monita des Bois last time out and although that form has since been let down this looks easier and he is taken to score. Major Blue rates the main danger on his latest third behind Ile De Paris. He has conditions to suit and will not be far away. Charlies Future was a fair second a couple of runs ago behind Yann and he has since run well in a much better race behind the prolific Brave Spirit, but one win in 24 starts tells its own story. Of the remainder, Pougatcheva would win this if it were a hurdles race but was far from fluent over fences last time and for the winner we return to Another Conquest who looks sure to run his race.
