In depth
Verdict
Governor Daniel won a selling hurdle in good style last time out, he is also as effective over fences and is slightly better handicapped in this sphere so he must go close, but a chance is taken on Walk On By who won well last time out when defeating Millersford and although he has gone up in the weights he looks like a sort who will keep on improving. Chalcedony could also go well but he broke a blood vessel last time out and is not one to take a short price about. Arawak Prince could also go well but he is creeping up the weights and he needs to improve on his latest second behind Toi Express to score.
