Verdict
Record High was fourth at Fontwell last time having gone close at the same track prior to that. He still has the beating of Minella Kaiser, but LITTLE WREN may prove a tougher nut to crack. The daughter of Walk In The Park left her moderate hurdling form behind when making all at Fakenham on her chasing bow, and there looks plenty more to come from Dan Skelton's inmate over the larger obstacles.
Expert View Verdict
Minella Kaiser ran well for a long way on his chasing debut and is almost certainly capable of better for his good yard, but LITTLE WREN looked a well handicapped mare on her chasing debut at Fakenham, winning with plenty in hand in the first-time cheekpieces, and she should follow up provided her stamina lasts over this longer trip - there is plenty of stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree. Consistent veteran Felton Bellevue is third on the list, being proven over the trip and with plenty of cut underfoot.
