Verdict

Plenty with chances but there was a lot to like about the reappearance Wincanton success of BLACKJACK MAGIC so Anthony Honeyball's upwardly-mobile chaser is taken to emerge on top of the pack. Gavin Cromwell's Yeah Man is feared most having looked sure to go close when coming down at the final fence over C&D last time. Victtorino, who emerged on top that day, must also enter calculations. Git Maker, Make Me A Believer and Hascoeur Clermont also need factoring into this cracking handicap.

  1. BLACKJACK MAGIC
  2. YEAH MAN (IRE)
  3. VICTTORINO (FR)
