Verdict
Pateen has only placed once in eight starts so far over fences and is the senior runner in this and another Irish import, Fightfortheroses, has an even worse record. GRIPPER was only 1-22 over hurdles but he’s been in decent form lately and starts out over fences on a potentially-lenient mark. Kelso winner Authorizo looks a danger while Away At Dawn is starting to knock on the door. Burrows Diamond ended last season with a double over hurdles but has a big weight to carry returning from a break.
