Verdict

VIVA LAVILLA has acquitted himself well in a couple of Grade 2s since making a winning hurdle bow at Lingfield and can resume winning ways back down in class. Abuffalosoldier showed a good attitude when following up his bumper win in a novice hurdle at Wincanton and rates the main threat, ahead of fellow penalised-winners Rafferty's Return and The Player Queen.
