In depth
Verdict
You'Re Special will be a warm order here and is difficult to oppose if he jumps round, with The Kew Tour possibly the one to chase him home. You¿Re Special has won three of his four chases to date and looked pretty good in the process. Tony McCoy has been booked and, while he has to concede 12lbs and more to the field, he holds the best credentials to our eyes. Bee And Bee, The Kew Tour and Dante's Banker have all shown promise over hurdles but this is not the easiest track to jump round so it will provide a good test for these horses. With the experience of You¿Re Special, who is a course winner over hurdles, in mind, we are happy to side with You'Re Special.
