Verdict
Peter Bowen has his string in fine form at present so Irish Wolf has to be respected but the seven-year-old may struggle to give weight away all round and preference is for Silver Charmer, with Abragante rated the pick of the remainder. The selection could hardly have been more impressive than when making a return to winning ways at Cheltenham last month and he has solid claims of following up, despite a 12lb rise for that recent success. David Pipe saddles four runners with another recent Cheltenham winner Abragante the pick of the quartet. Chilling Place deserves to win a race having found one too good in each of his last two starts but he may be a shade high in the weights at present, while Spring Breeze has more to do than when scoring at Ayr last time. Tony McCoy will be at or near his minimum on Jonjo O'Neill's Two Miles West and he has to be of interest but there was plenty to like about the way that Silver Charmer won at Cheltenham last time and he is taken to follow up.
