Bell Weir is making his handicap debut and though in tremendous form both over timber and on the Flat this is by far his stiffest test to date. Sir Ector won over 2m here in August but is 15lb higher while Jamsie Hall, though very well handicapped over hurdles compared to his chase mark, might prefer a bit further on tonight's ground. Dark Prospect is also lower in the weights than over fences and should be respected while Shanpallas is better than we saw at LImerick. LANDERO scored on the Flat in Germany and has been steadily getting back to form after a bright start which saw him score on fast ground over 2m here. He's handed the vote in a very open contest.
