Repunzel took an ugly fall on her chase debut having previously been showing progressive hurdle form (arguably the best in the race). If she has recovered from that experience she has the ability to land this at a track where her trainer has and excellent record. My Galliano put in a pleasing chase effort last time out at Taunton having previously had two major fencing disappointments at Hereford. If translating his good hurdle form then is entitled to go close and is the obvious TEAMtalk selection. Harcamone probably has the best chase form in the book at these weights but he has had more chances than most. His recent runs have been most disappointing and is best watched.
