Verdict

This looks a decent event. BEAT THE JUDGE was just about the best of these over timber and did enough when third on chase debut at Stratford recently to suggest he will pay his way over larger obstacles. He is narrowly preferred to Tidal Watch, a specialist two-miler who ran a solid race last time and may be improved by the addition of the tongue-tie. It's hard to rule any of the seven runners out of contention, but of the rest the mare Diamond Gait showed enough on her first start over fences to suggest she'll be competitive, while if they handle the drop back in trip Ashutor and Neverbeen To Paris also enter the equation.
  1. Beat The Judge
  2. Tidal Watch
  3. Diamond Gait
