Verdict

Stepping down in class after a disappointing performance in Listed company last time, CHEF D'OEUVRE has a great chance in this if putting last times disappointment behind him. He was beaten when coming down three out in that race at Ascot but he was so impressive when romping to victory at this course the time before that it is impossible to ignore his chance. If he blows out again, Shelford could pick up the pieces, having won well at Towcester last time out, while Orchardstown Cross put in a tame showing on his debut under rules at Warwick last time but there should be plenty more to come now he's switched to the larger obstacles.
