Verdict

Plenty of runners won't fail for stamina in this line-up and that includes 2017 winner CYCLOP. He is well handicapped on that success (9lb lower) and this looks to have been the plan after two fair runs over hurdles. Very First Time has come back to something near his best for the Skelton's and, at the age of seven, still may not have reached his peak whilst Le Reve will appreciate the drop in grade and step back up trip judging on his 3m5f victory earlier in the year. Hugo 'n Taz should be noted if strong in the betting.
  1. Cyclop
  2. Very First Time
  3. Le Reve
