This finale isn't a strong contest so any traction in the betting behind chase debutant Eager To Know would be worth paying attention to. He was running well over timber in the spring and wouldn't need to improve much for the switch to this discipline in order to get involved. Apachee Prince has been showing some positives over timber recently, though must prove he's as effective negotiating these obstacles. Misfits should be fitter now after a poor show at Kelso on reappearance while a first-time hood may also help. A tentative vote lands with SMILING JESSICA however. She ran her best race (from three) over fences at Southwell and might be able to take a step forward now.
