CRIEVEHILL has not quite hit the same heights over fences so far, but he produced a better effort at Haydock last time, with this stiffer track looking to suit him well. Chef D’Equipe is always ridden by his amateur owner which should be a big plus in this contest. Drumcliff looks a difficult ride at times so perhaps an amateur race isn’t the best place for him, but he is naturally very talented.
