Verdict

KIM ROQUE has shaped well in some strong handicap chases since joining Joseph O'Brien, notably when running on from too far back to take fourth behind Ask Brewster and Road To Home in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival, and can become the third successive Irish-trained winner. King of Answers is another lightly-raced chaser who ran a corker at Cheltenham and is second choice ahead of the thriving Chasingouttheblues, who promises to be well suited by this marathon trip.
