Verdict
Wildfield Rufo, King Bee, Moscow Leader and Karajan look the ones to concentrate on in another tough race to call and the tentative vote goes to Wildfield Rufo. The nine-year-old won well over hurdles last time when defeating Great As Gold he returns to chasing on a fair mark and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. King Bee rates the main danger on his latest third behind Multi Talented but he ran as if in the handicappers grip and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Moscow Leader is also worthy of respect he was a fair third behind Red Rampage last time and is sure to be suited by the drop in trip. Karajan is another that could go well but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Sharp Beline is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Wildfield Rufo.
