Verdict
Fond Memory was quite impressive at Kempton and that is probably better form than Cody Wyoming's defeat of Its a Steal at Stratford. Kuda Huraa could figure if taking to fences but Vivaccio was a bit disappointing last season after arriving from France and may need a stiffer test than this. TIDAL WAY is tackling the larger obstacles for the first time but will have had plenty of schooling. He was only beaten a half-a-length in decent company over hurdles at Wetherby last month and will be thereabouts if translating that form to fences. Bonobo has won a bumper and two hurdle races but might be better on faster going.
