Verdict

After returning to form of late, River Frost could snatch a place after running admirably in defeat in this class most recently. Geronimo is likely to be on the scene after a successful first season over fences, but is more of a place contender on his seasonal return against race-fit horses. Top-weight The Dubai Way had the form of his most recent success franked by the runner-up lately, and should make a bold-bid to notch a hat-trick. However, GLITTERING LOVE still holds a 100% record over fences (4-4). He went from strength to strength last season and this lightly raced seven-year-old who goes well fresh can post a career-best to win this.
  1. Glittering Love
  2. The Dubai Way
  3. Geronimo
