Verdict

The point-to-pointer Capture The Drama would be an unlikely winner and though all of the remaining quartet hold some sort of chance it's UN BEAU MATIN who should make a successful start over fences. Gordon Elliott's charge has proved himself a genuine contender at Grade 2 level over hurdles having been placed twice at that level earlier this year and has always looked a potentially useful chaser. Diamondgeezer Luke has one poor run over the bigger obstacles behind him but has improved greatly over hurdles and should do better while Sizing Solution has the most experience of these over fences and has proved himself a good jumper though he may be better over further. The Job Is Right landed a Cork Grade 3 novice hurdle in December and though not in the best of form in the spring he's a talented performer who can be expected to do well over fences.
