Verdict
Tiger Voice is rated 8lb clear of these rivals based on his form in Ireland but he's been running poorly over jumps. Celestial Force is next best and he's managed to win seven times in lowly grades but hasn't run since November 2021. STILL STANDING has won six times in Ireland and was rated 104 in his heyday. Though those days are long gone, he may still have enough left in the tank to take this for new connections. Free Chakarte won a couple of minor races in France last spring and made a winning debut over hurdles for David Pipe but she's gone backwards and has pulled up in her last three starts over timber.
