Verdict
SAMARRIVE was still in contention when getting the second last fence at Ascot all wrong on last month’s chasing bow. He’ll know more today and is clear of today’s opposition on official ratings over hurdles. Hudson De Grugy finished well behind the selection over timber last year though will be sharper for a recent chasing debut at Sandown while Lac De Constance has his first start over the larger obstacles having shown good progress over timber last season.
