      Verdict

      One time useful flat horse Savannah Bay failed to make much of an impression over hurdles but already looks to be a better chaser and is taken to follow up his success here in August with Bob Ar Aghaidh and On The Outside rated the main dangers. The selection stayed two miles on the flat so today's longer trip should hardly inconvenience the Philip Hobbs-trained gelding. Stanway is capable but is likely to struggle in this company and a bigger threat is likely to come from Bob Ar Aghaidh. Colin Tinkler's gelding ran out the easy winner of his latest start at Wetherby in April after several of his rivals made costly errors but he could do no more than was asked that day and has to be respected. Lack of a run since then is of concern for the nine-year-old though, while On The Outside, who is fit and in form, needs to improve to trouble the selection. Moss Campian has looked only moderate so far and the vote goes to Savannah Bay to make it two from two over fences.
