Verdict
Telemoss is the class act here and is expected to dispose with the challenges of Kjetil and Danaeve, who look the pick of the opposition. That said, Chaos Theory had a habit of popping up with a bold show every now and then when trained by Mary Reveley and he is the most likely of the outsiders to cause a shock. Danaeve has some useful form to his name from his time in Ireland and it will be interesting to see how he fares. He is one to bear in mind for next time. Kjetil has a bit to prove after being pulled up in a point-to-point last month. However, he has sound claims of making the frame on the best of his previous form and he should be capable of leading the chasing pack here. Nevertheless, Telemoss showed he still retains the will to win by scooting home in a similar contest at Bangor last week and, as this is much the same level of competition, he is confidently expected to follow up today
