THE KEALSHORE KID gets the vote ahead of Glimmer Of Light and Storm Prospect in a very competitive race. George Moore's gelding has been holding his form well since the turn of the year, winning races at Sedgefield and Southwell in the process. His new mark of 102 still looks manageable and with the ground in his favour he can win. Glimmer Of Light is not always the most consistent but his latest win at Uttoxeter for this jockey was encouraging, Heavenly Chorus runs this track well and is fairly handicapped for this return to chasing, whilst Storm Prospect is a course winner and ran well in defeat at Perth last time out. More Like It has been in good form over hurdles, Arumun is now well-handicapped but out of form, whilst Ice Image ran well here last time out and is considered accordingly.
