Verdict

Like the other chase on the card this is competitive with five already having won around here; three over C&D and it’s hard to totally rule many out. Sumkindofking and BEAU DU BRIZAIS resume their rivalry from last time with the latter fancied to confirm the form despite a 6lb rise in the weights. Both Tenor Nivernais and Opening Batsman are well handicapped on their old form and would be a danger to all the former especially if there is more rain. Spider’s Bite has little experience over fences but has plenty of potential in this sphere over this sort of trip while the winner of this two years ago Fox Appeal can’t be ignored.
  1. Beau Du Brizais
  2. Spider's Bite
  3. Opening Batsman
