Verdict

NUMITOR has looked a natural over the larger obstacles and is taken to make it 3 from 3 as a chaser despite an 8 lb rise for his easy Wincanton victory. Enzo d'Airy looks a formidable opponent returning to a more suitable trip and the relatively unexposed Grey Diamond can't be ruled out.

  1. NUMITOR
  2. ENZO D'AIRY (FR)
  3. GREY DIAMOND (FR)
