Verdict
A difficult race to unravel, but Fullopep has the ability to make an impact at this level and he is taken to pick up where he left off over regulation fences and is preferred over Be My Dream, Pangeran and Westcoast. The ex-Mary Reveley-trained nine-year-old comes here on the back of a fair effort in a point-to-point last month and has plenty in his favour regarding trip, going and jockey booking. He is a little careful at his fences, but that is no bad thing over some of these daunting fences. Be My Dream is a consistent sort who put in some good efforts when he was trained by Jonjo O'Neill. However, he has downed tools on occasions and is not one to rely upon in a finish. The same sentiments apply to Pangeran, so Westcoat could be the one for each way backers to pin hopes on.
