Verdict

Consistency mightn't necessarily be a core strength for SQUARE VIVIANI, but he represents the in-form stable of Micky Hammond seeking to confirm November's C&D form with Arizona Bound and Smuggler's Stash. While Rose Dobbin's nine-year-old should benefit immeasurably for that comeback run, it's difficult to envisage him reversing those placings on marginally better terms. Therefore, the likeliest danger is the admirable veteran Lowanbehold who went down on his sword to a stablemate of the selection (Dontdelay) in the stamina-sapping four-miler here last month.
  1. Square Viviani
  2. Lowanbehold
  3. Multipede
