Verdict

The vote goes to RITCHIE VALENS, who put in good late work when fifth here last month and should be well-served by this step back up in trip. Arctic Sea performed with credit at Wolverhampton when last seen in November and is feared off a handy mark (2 lb lower than for his latest success), while multiple C&D winner Renardeau should also be in the mix.

  1. RITCHIE VALENS (IRE)
