In depth
Verdict
Gold Chain and Tonto's Spirit are both recent winners over hurdles so enter calculations here. Big McIntosh also has form over timber, including a second here in November, and he's won three times on the Flat. Ripon fourth Moon Arc can't be ignored and Fillydelphia is only 3lb higher than when last successful and was third over track and trip last time. SURROUND SOUND beat New Colours in an amateurs' race here a year ago and is now 6lb lower so must have some sort of chance in a race that won’t take much winning.
