Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCostacurta showed he has the right profile for this sphere on his chasing debut at Tramore last month — third over a trip shorter than ideal — and is expected to improve now the distance is more sympathetic. The Milan gelding has won over hurdles at this sort of level and should take well to this course. Chichester Park is a worthy rival after finishing second, clear of the rest, on his chasing bow, while Londonofficecallin, who looked as though a more demanding test was needed at Kilbeggan, is also expected to feature. Costacurta is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Costacurta
