An intriguing race in prospect with a whole host of promising novices in the line-up, some of whom are tackling this 3m trip for the very first time. Kateson is the obvious starting point and is continuing to progress over hurdles with his close-up third to Champ in the Challow at Newbury the standout piece of form on offer. However, the likes of Lisnagar Oscar and the soft-ground proven Geordie B could prove better suited by such a test of stamina and the very likeable ASK BEN is overlooked at your peril. He sprung a surprise when winning the French Furze at Newcastle in December (form franked by Beakstown) and sports few obvious flaws over this longer trip.
