Verdict
A small field goes to post for this novice chase and it looks a straight forward task for Rudi Knight, who should be too good for Per Amore, You're Special and Three Days Reign. The gelding from the Venetia Williams yard won well last time out when defeating Winged Hussar and he will be hard to beat despite his penalty with conditions again in his favour. Per Amore was a fair second behind Idaho D'ox last time over two miles. This longer trip should suit but he needs to improve again to defeat Rudi Knight. You're Special is a versatile sort and showed a modicum of ability on his fencing bow when second behind Diceman but he to needs to improve again to score. Three Days Reign looks outclassed.
