Verdict
The Venetia Williams-trained Misty Future has been good form in handicaps of late and gets the vote returning to novice-company now with The Kew Tour and Three Eagles rated the only serious dangers. The selection comes out top on official BHB ratings and need only reproduce his last time out running to take this. The Kew Tour jumped well enough on his chasing debut when landing a novice chase at Wetherby last month and is less exposed than Michael Scudamore's Three Eagles, who reverts to chasing after a couple of runs over hurdles. Intrepid Mogal and Brush A King make limited appeal in a race that is expected to go to Misty Future.
