Coursing Run, Thyneandthyneagain and Robbo are all shortlisted in a wide open affair with the tentative vote going to Coursing Run. The gelding from the Henry Daly yard won well last time out when defeating Swincombe and although he is still prone to the odd error he won in the style of an improver and is taken to score again. Thyneandthyneagain won the Skybet Chase in good style last time out when defeating Magical Bailiwick but that was on very soft ground and this faster surface is not sure to suit. Robbo is an unpredictable sort who would have a chance if he is in the mood but he more often than not lets his supporters down, although he is certainly capable of going well at a decent price. Cobreces looks to be on a fair mark and is another that can't be ruled out with the step up in trip sure to suit, while Tonoco loves it round here and is another that has place claims but for the winner we return to Coursing Run.
