Verdict

Plenty of likely sorts in a fine renewal of this great marathon, and a chance taken that CHIDSWELL can build on the impression he made when running away with a good handicap chase at Doncaster last time. The unexposed Geronimo could be a danger, along with the likes of Big River, Dingo Dollar, Crosspark and Kingswell Theatre. Top weight Beware The Bear is respected, as too are last year's third Vintage Clouds and Irish raider Crosshue Boy.
  1. Chidswell
  2. Crosshue Boy
  3. Geronimo
