Verdict

This is probably the most interesting race on the card with several powerful stables represented. Fergal O’Brien’s Ask A Honey and Kim Bailey’s Java Point are points winners while When You're Ready was third at Warwick on his bumper debut. Nicky Henderson’s Arcadian Pearl will have his supporters and so will Wilde About Oscar as the Skelton gelding is a brother to a bumper and hurdles winner and a half-brother to two other winning jumpers. Running in the Hemmings colours, SANTON is a half-brother to the useful Eamon An Cnoic and gets a tentative vote.
