Verdict
This is something of a specialist distance for hunter chasers but Delta Borget and Sam Cavallaro are both proven at the trip. The latter came right back to form at Cheltenham last month while the unexposed Mr Sawyer is worth a market check. Decade Player followed up a point-to-point victory at High Easter with a win over 2m3f at Wetherby but JOKER CHOKER (NAP) can make amends for an unlucky run in this 12 months ago when only beaten a head with Catch Tammy a well-beaten third. Nicky Martin's charge gave favourite Grandioso a fright at Fontwell last week so is in good form.
