Verdict
Cumbrian Knight.Cumbrian Knight, Sharp Single and Moscow Dancer look the three to concentrate on in this beginners chase and the vote is given to Cumbrian Knight. The selection was a good third behind Saintsaire last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that form to score. Sharp Single rates the main danger on her best form and she was noted staying on well behind Powder Creek last time this stiffer course should suit and she has definite place claims. Moscow Dancer is another worthy of respect on his best hurdles form but he has failed to hit the heights over fences and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Your Advantage gets the weight for age allowances and is from a yard in form so should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to
