Verdict
Trade Dispute a good winner at Kelso last time out when defeating Dunrig is taken to score. He is from the bang in form Grant Tuer yard is proven on the ground and he is confidently expected to score. Balisteros rates the main danger he is a frequent winner in ladies point-to-points. However his form over regulation fences is way short of what he has achieved in points so for that reason he is readily opposed. Knight Templar was a fair fifth behind General Wolfe when he last ran in this sphere and he has been in fair form in point-to-points of late however his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground. Royal Snoopy has had breathing problems in the past and his best efforts have also come with more cut in the ground. However he is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market. Money Magic looks outclassed.
