Verdict

This will take little winning and provides Centreofexcellence with an opportunity to follow up his Bangor success. An 8lb rise should make this harder, however the opposition is mediocre and he would still be expected to go close. Keep Moving has been absent for a year since a career best, however that was on soft ground at Exeter and this will be more of a speed test. The vote goes to CAP ST VINCENT who came from a long way back to finish third behind a stable companion on his chase debut. Some of his hurdles form shows him to be well-handicapped and he can go close if ridden more positively.
  1. Cap St Vincent
  2. Centreofexcellence
  3. Keep Moving
