Verdict
CARYTO DES BROSSES (NAP) is impossible to oppose if reproducing his run behind Hazel Hill at Cheltenham. That form could be franked in the previous race and David Kemp’s charge is probably the least exposed of these. Chosen Dream bids to repeat last year’s defeat of Asockastar and Wonderful Charm but doesn’t arrive in the same form, though still warrants respect. It’s more than a year since than a year since Sambremont last ran under Rules and he wasn’t in good form then but Ballyrath is a thorough stayer. For 'n' Against and Garde Ville of the others but usually finds at least one too good.
