River Amora is the most consistent in the field and is given a tentative TEAMtalk nod to land this poor handicap chase. He has done all his recent racing on a firm surface but he has shown form on soft in the past and should go well. South West Express is a consistent finisher (always a bonus in this sort of race) and ran not too badly last month at Stratford. He looks booked for a place if completing. Condoyle boasts the best hurdle form in the race and has shown he has some ability over the larger obstacles. Most of his better hurdle runs came on a firmer surface so the ground would be a worry here. Sir Williamwallace is not out of it on the best of his form though is another who has not proved himself on the ground.
