In depth
Verdict
THE GREEN OGRE looks to have a good opportunity to finally open his account. Placed in his last six starts over timber, Gary Moore's charge has much the best form of these. Golan To War showed some promise on his hurdling bow at Chepstow but collateral form gives Haatefina plenty to find with the selection. The remainder have shown little to recommend them so far with the exception of Allthegear No Idea but he's been off the track since 2012 and may be best watched on this occasion.
