Winner £67,524 - 6 runners

Going: Soft

Surface: Turf

Race Tip

A tight-knit contest that sees the two impressive Cheltenham Festival handicap winners INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN (5) and CHIANTI CLASSICO (2) take each other on. Slender preference goes the way of the former who ran out a facile winner of the Kim Muir and will appreciate the anticipated testing conditions while the latter landed the Ultima over 3m1f and must be respected making first outing among G1 company. IROKO (6) shaped with promise tackling fences in the G1 Turners Novices Chase at Cheltenham last month. Expected front-runner BROADWAY BOY (1) could be sharpened by first-time cheekpieces.
