Verdict
Rigmarole looks the class act here and is taken to beat Castlemore and Jivaty. The Paul Nicholls trained seven-year-old has taken on the best over hurdles and at his peak was rated 164. Although he hasn't won for some time he still has plenty of ability and apologies for using the old saying, but if he jumps he will win. Castlemore is also making his chase debut. He has been in good form over hurdles but does have plenty to find on official ratings with our selection. Jivaty has plenty of chasing experience and ran well to finish runner up to Silver Inngot last time. He should be the one to take advantage if the two market leaders fail to jump round. However both will have been well schooled and it is Rigmarole who is expected to come out on top.
