Verdict

Bagan can follow up on his latest victory at the main expense of Baodai. Highly tried over hurdles in 2005, the selection bounced back with a bang when scoring readily over course and distance last month on his chasing debut. He jumped fluently that day and if in the same frame of mind then he will be very very hard to beat. Baodai gets a stone from the selection and the trip and ground suit well. However, whilst he has plenty of experience over the birch, he looks pretty exposed. Tonic Du Charmil would be a threat if brushing up on his jumping, whilst Duke Of Buckingham drops in class and looks sure to go well if putting his poor last run behind him. Bagan looks hard to oppose here and so we won't.
