Another small field but a competitive field none the less and we will take a chance on Jolly Giant. The gelding from the Paul Nicholls yard had ever chance until unshipping his rider last time out behind Saffron Sun if his jumping holds together he will not be far away with conditions in his favour. Broadgate Flyer has shown improved form since changing stables but his best efforts have come on fast ground and if the rain came he would easily be opposable. kung Hei Fat Choi has dropped to a good mark and he is worth a cautionary look in the market but he has been beset by jumping problems of late. Chadswell is another that has dropped to a handy mark but he has been disappointing of late. However that has been on ground faster than ideal and he could surprise at a fair price if the rain arrives. Rhapsody In Blue is better over hurdles than fences and is readily opposed.
