Verdict

This looks a decent beginners' chase and it should produce plenty of winners. Vertige Dore has already finished first past the post in a novice event over fences here but was thrown out for hampering the runner-up after the last. He was still close up when falling at Hereford last time and should go close if that hasn't affected his confidence. Mr Moss and Vincitore will have learned plenty from their respective debuts over fences here and at Stratford but Washango is beginning to look a little exposed now and Irish import Total Victory finished tailed off here last month. SANGFROID became difficult to win with over hurdles but showed enough on his fencing bow at Newton Abbot to suggest he has a future over the larger obstacles and Nick Williams' grey is certain to strip fitter here - he gets the nod.
