Verdict

An open-looking renewal of Britain's first big chase of the autumn, BOOMBAWN selected to notch his third success over the larger obstacles having been given a recent pipe-opener over timber at Chepstow. Dan Skelton's 9-y-o is 10 lb lower than when fourth in this last year and the application of first-time headgear signals intent. Imperial Saint has a fine record here, so he heads up the dangers on reappearance, with last year's winner Hitman completing the shortlist.
