Verdict

This looks wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with CHALK MOUNTAIN, who arrives in better heart than his recent form figures suggests and can follow up his success in this event 12 months ago. In-form duo Manly Fireball and Suggy both seem sure to be on the premises, while the handily-weighted Metal Merchant and unexposed Crossbar also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
