Verdict

A disappointing start to proceedings as although there are 14 declared, only three have any chance, that trio being Goldbrook, Cedar Master and Perouse, with the last named likely to be a warm order. Paul Nicholls' charge has really come to himself since being unleashed on fast ground, with two comfortable victories over timber, the latest coming over the course and distance 18 days ago. He should be well up to defying a penalty and gets a confident vote ahead of his two main rivals. Goldbrook is a consistent enough sort but will find conditions a bit lively, while Cedar Master has yet to win over hurdles but was just touched off on the Flat at Folkestone recently. That should have put the edge on him and he looks booked for the frame. The only other worth mentioning is Kez but he has an absence to overcome.
