RACING POST VERDICT

Great d'Ange heads this six-runner Class 5 chase at Newton Abbot on good ground, rated narrowly ahead of Limerick Leader and a handful of pounds clear of Sir Carnegie, and that edge in class looks meaningful over this extended trip of twenty-six furlongs where stamina and jumping accuracy will count. The chief dangers come from Limerick Leader, who has the form to make this competitive, Sir Carnegie, who cannot be discounted at the weights, and Honey I'm Good, who may improve for the step up in distance. Confidence is medium rather than absolute, but Great d'Ange's superior rating and presumed suitability to this test of endurance make a compelling case. The selection is Great d'Ange.
