Verdict
Ballykan looks a real chasing type and it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old go well on his first start since May. But Mile House made mistakes when well beaten by Rothman at Fontwell last month and will need to do better around here. PARISH BUSINESS made a winning reappearance over hurdles at Chepstow a year ago and developed into a decent stayer. He could be even better over fences and looks the class act in this, though the lightly-raced Shantou Tiger will enjoy this ground and should be winning soon. Go On Henry is preferred to Man Of Leisure and Bobble Emerald of the others.
