      Verdict

      Just five are set to face the starter here and it looks to be a straight shootout between AFSOUN and King's Quay, with the former selected, but there's likely to be some support too for Silvo. The selection won on his chase debut last time out despite one or two problems, and although giving plenty of weight around in testing conditions, he's coped with that in the past. He's currently around 20-1 for the Arkle. King's Quay is making his chase debut after a recent spell on the Flat following a successful hurdling career. If backing him, you're taking the chance he'll get over the bigger fences. Silvo is the only course and distance winner in the field - that was last time out a couple of weeks ago - but the ground may be too sticky for him. Despite the small field, this could be an interesting contest.
