Verdict

CAID DU BERLAIS ran well in this race last year and following an impressive seasonal debut recently he is taken to register a victory in this prestigious amateur riders contest. The selection has won at this venue before and can get the better of Road To Rome who is unbeaten since joining his current stable. Stand Up And Fight hails from a yard who know what it takes to win this event and he can see off dual previous winner Pacha Du Polder in the battle for third.
