Verdict

The Noel Meade-trained LIGNOU was a dual Flat winner in native France and has been running well in defeat in starts at Punchestown and over C&D last month when finishing 17L adrift of Konitho. The four-year-old can confirm his entry in the Fred Winter at the festival at the expense of Coral Blue and the Gordon Elliott pair Great Vizer and Viscount Wilson who are worthy of consideration in this contest.
