In depth

Verdict

NO CEILING can be a weak finisher but starts his chase career off the same mark as when dotting up over hurdles at Southwell 11 days ago. His lack of experience is a bit of a concern but he should win if taking to fences. Prince Khurram has yet to finish out of the first three over the larger obstacles so has to go on the short-list but Stormbay Bomber was disappointing at Market Rasen last month and Quick Brew is getting no nearer. Ballyvoque has his first run of the year and will be 11 in January so Time And Again looks best of the rest.
