Verdict

Tindaro failed to cut any ice on his chasing debut and looks to face another tough task here off topweight and MILLERS REEF makes far greater appeal for Jamie Snowden. He only got home by half a length at Hereford last time but travelled well during the race before being driven out to success and can defy a 7lb rise. Gentleman Jeff got the job done last time but hardly looked the keenest in doing so whilst City Ground is becoming increasingly hard to predict. Olympian looks a far safer option, being equally at home over hurdles and fences and handling all surfaces. Solid and reliable into the bargain, he should give a good account under the champion jockey.
