In depth
Verdict
A small field goes to post for this novices chase and the ones to concentrate on are Dream With Me, Colquhoun and Wagner and we will take a chance on Wagner. The six-year-old is sure to have been well schooled for this his debut over fences and his latest second over hurdles behind Captain Zinzan proves he is still in good form. If he jumps well he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Dream With Me rates the main danger he has experience over fences. However he found very little off the bridle when fourth behind Per Amour last time and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Colquhoun was in front of Dream With Me in that race and he should again confirm placings on similar terms here. Rock 'N' Cold is another that could go well but his best form is over shorter trips so we are happy to stick with Wagner.
