Verdict

It’s rather a shame that this has to a certain extent cut up and with the ground getting softer it will provide quite a test. That should bring out the best in Lostintranslation who already looks as though he’s going to be useful over this trip. However, TOPOFTHEGAME the RSA winner is going to be hard to beat with the Cheltenham race looking to be a top-class renewal this time around and his trainer Paul Nicholls has tasted success in this before. Mr Whipped might find this a little bit of a culture shock at this stage of his career especially with Top Ville Ben sure to set a strong pace. Drovers Lane needs to improve and it could be Chris’s Dream that is the surprise package at a big price.
