        Verdict

        There appears to be a fair bit more to come from Green Ideal, who is selected in preference to Encore Cadoudal and Alam, who make the most appeal out of the rest at this stage. The latter has always looked a chaser in the making and will no doubt pick up a race like this somewhere in the north before too long. However, he was no great shakes over hurdles and is expected to benefit from the experience this afternoon. Encore Cadoudal is still quite lightly raced for a six-year-old and is another that can be expected to pay his way this season. However, he too has to a little to prove regarding his aptitude for fences and it would be guessing to forward his claims in the absence of a betting guide. Therefore, Green Ideal looks the safest option, as he has at least got experience of fences to draw from and, with his stable absolutely flying at the moment, there are plenty of reasons to expect a bold bid from this improving gelding today.
