Verdict
GENEROUS CHIEF (NAP) has been a revelation since reverting to hurdles and Graeme McPherson's eight-year-old can complete his hat-trick, despite the penalty. Wiffy Chatsby keeps finding one too good and that may be the case again here while Grand Enterprise will need to improve for the step up in trip, though is eased slightly in grade. Mr Mafia has decent each-way claims but Cry Fury has had plenty of chances and hasn't done much on the all-weather since last seen over timber.
