Verdict

Shannon's Pride has disappointed in his last two starts but holds solid claims on previous form over fences and is taken to resume winning ways at the main expense of Kidithou and Isellido. The last mentioned is less exposed than most of her rivals over fences having fallen early on at Wetherby last week on her chasing debut. Richard Guest's mare had shown enough over hurdles previously to suggest that she would have claims in this company and she cannot be discounted readily. Len Lungo's Jolika probably did not beat a great deal when scoring at Ayr last month and is probably best passed over, while Now Then Sid needs to improve to trouble the judge. Ayr winner Kidithou was a faller at the same venue earlier this month and has claims if his jumping holds up but preference is for the Nicky Richards-trained Shannon's Pride, who has not been disgraced in better company of late and looks the one to beat on earlier form.
