Race Verdict
Philip Hobbs and Richard Johnson landed this 12 months ago with My Shamwari and team up this time around with Pateese, who is respected despite having seen his good early-season form tail off. Preference, however, is for THE PIER following a more than pleasing return to this sphere at Wincanton. David Pipe's gelding is up 5lb for that run behind stablemate Star Of Angels and the pair had pulled clear of the subsequent chase winner, No Loose Change, and everything else in the race. Native Gallery completes the shortlist.
Selection: The Pier
Danger: Native Gallery
Alternative: Pateese
