        Verdict

        An interesting little race that seems to revolve around Champagne Harry, Sonevafushi and Chanticlier; with the nomination given to the first mentioned. The market will tell us whether Sonevafushi's run behind Ollie Margern can be taken on trust in this company, as the Nigel Twiston-Davies horse was heavily eased to win when they met at Fakenham in October. The subsequent efforts from the six-year-old left a little to be desired in terms of improvement and he will do very well to concede a double penalty in this company. Chanticlier has a lot of scope for the coming campaign and hails from a yard that are confident of amassing a good strike-rate this term. However, he is an unknown quantity regarding his ability over fences and his readiness for a race like this has to be taken on trust. Therefore, Champagne Harry looks a far more feasible option at this stage and the Twiston-Davies team again look the boys to be with here.
