In depth

Verdict

The trio of Joe Deane, General Gossip and Channahrlie have all been in good form of late but have been hit hard by the handicapper as a result and we would rather side with Trade Off. The son of Roselier has shown gradual improvement over hurdles this winter and makes his chasing debut off what looks a lenient mark. Sure to have been well schooled over fences and be suited by the longer trip here, Trade Off makes more appeal than the consistent King Bee. Executive Director makes his debut for Venetia Williams having formerly been trained in Ireland and has to be respected along with recent Fontwell scorer Auburn Spirit, who has the beating of Multi Talented on running that day, but we prefer to take a chance on the chasing debutante Trade Off.
