Verdict

Wild Is The Wind made a very pleasing chase debut last month and can land this fascinating contest, Penneyrose Bay and Ballyjohnboy Lord can chase him home. Jonjo O'Neil's gelding is rated 122 over hurdles but has always looked likely to make a better chaser. He chased home Dickensbury Lad in a better race than this at Stratford and will know doubt improve for the experience. Penneyrose Bay chased home Smart Savannah on her only fencing outing and is rated higher than the selection over hurdles so she must rate a big danger. Ballyjohnboy Lord ran well on his chase debut at Chepstow and should again be in the firing line. Just A Splash and Razzamatazz are the only others with any serious chance and so we return to Wild Is The Wind as the form choice.
