Verdict

WAYFINDER did well last season, winning a bumper and a handicap hurdle, and shaped encouragingly when runner-up on his chase bow at Ffos Las on return. He's entitled to come on for that so can emerge on top this time. Schnabel is thriving for his new stable and is an obvious threat as he goes for the hat-trick. while Ballymagroarty Boy caught the eye on his comeback at Ffos Las.
