Verdict

BLENKINSOP confirmed the promise of his chase debut and benefited from the step back up in trip in trip when scoring in good style at Exeter 33 days ago. Open to further improvement as a staying chaser, he earns the vote over last year's winner Fortunate Man. Snipe, who took this prize 2 years ago, rates next best.
