Verdict
Kandjar D'allier, Mr Fluffy, and You're Special look the three to concentrate on in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection won well at Cheltenham when defeating Christopher last time out he again has conditions to suit and with his yard continuing in good form he is taken to win again. Kandjar A¿aller rates the main danger as he won with plenty in hand when defeating Sossus Vlei. However he has risen in the weights and this looks much more competritive so he is passed over on this occasion. Mr Fluffy is another that could go well he defeated Champagne Harry in a novices chase last time out and has definite place claims but he will find this tougher against experienced handicappers. Liberthine is from a top yard and is one to not e in the market but he may just need the run after a 259 day absence. Of the remainder Athnowen is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to You¿re Special
