In depth
Verdict
Course specialist, Radar, is confidently selected to land the prize. A dual winner at Sedgefield over chase fences, he should have stripped fitter for two spins over the hurdles this term. Elvis Reigns carried a lofty reputation from his spell between the flags but he appears to be very much a character these days. Mighty Fine has also posted winning form (beating Binny Bay) but invariably makes the odd error. He looks the most likely danger to our selection. The ground looks against Ulasaba while Kimdaloo will need to produce a career best to land the prize.
