Prominent, mistake 10th, outpaced when left 3rd and hampered 3 out, rallied from 2 out, disputing 2nd flat, held by winner when not much room towards finish
As De Mee (6/4), Gala Ball (4/1), Le Rocher (4/1), Valdez (6/1), Pingshou (6/1)
VALDEZ, the oldest horse in the field can defy top weight to follow up his Hereford success last time out with victory in this small field handicap chase. Pingshou ran a decent race despite falling last time out and he can chase the selection home ahead of Gala Ball who is likely to have improved for his seasonal debut and represents a yard going well at present.
