      Verdict

      This looks a match between Wintertide and Armen and the vote goes to Wintertide. The selection was rated 130 over hurdles. he is sure to have been well schooled for this chasing debut and if he puts in a clear round he will be hard to beat. Armen rates the main danger as at least he has experience over the larger obstacles. He was a fair second on his debut behind Lou Du Molin Mas but he has since took a crashing fall and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Broken Dream is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Step Quick last time out but he lacks the class of the selection. Of the remainder Indian Sun will like the ground and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Wintertide.
