Verdict
A poor race here but something has to win it and the principals look to be No Shenanigans, Lik Wood Power, and Terrible Tenant and the vote goes to No Shenanigans. The selection was a fair eighth behind Well Chief last time out and need only reproduce that effort to score. Under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Lik Wood Power rates the main danger on his hurdles form. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chase debut and has definite place claims. Terrible Tenant was a fair third behind Translucid on his chasing debut and he is sure to have come on for the run but he will need to improve to beat the selection. Of the remainder Solve It Sober has shown a modicum of ability and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to No Shenanigans.
