Verdict

The strong-travelling SAO was inconvenienced by a ragged start at Wetherby last time and can build on the promise of that effort to go one better here. Well Educated has a fine record over hurdles at this course and arrives on the back of a positive performance last week, so can pose the main threat on his chase bow, with fellow chase newcomer Fringill Dike also respected.
