Verdict
MR CHOW had no trouble defying a big weight at Taunton last week. It's no surprise that David Pipe has elected to turn him out again quickly under a penalty here as he will no doubt go up a few pounds for that success. The progressive eight-year-old should complete his hat-trick as only the veteran Nemetan, among his rivals, has won so far over fences and Waldsee is having his first start over the larger obstacles. The lightly-raced Ravastree wasn't disgraced when fourth at Newbury in November, however, and could be the one to chase home the selection if improving a little on that effort.
