Verdict
PUGNACITY won well last time and we will stick with him; the list of dangers is headed by On My Terms and Abbey Minster. The selection beat On My Terms at Sedgefield last time out and we are confident he can confirm that form today, despite the presence of Tony McCoy in the saddle for On My Terms. The drop in trip is not sure to suit On My Terms, but it will certainly suit our selection who also has ground conditions to his liking. Abbey Minster is relatively lightly-raced and he ran a sound race last time out when he chased home Friends Of Tina at Market Rasen. His jumping let him down that day, so if he is more fluent over the obstacles today then that would give him a big chance. Paperchaser has been kept busy over the summer but he has something to find with our selection on their meeting at Sedgefield back in August. An open race and the vote goes to Pugnacity.
