Verdict

A host with chances in this valuable series Final. RAMSES DE TEILLEE won nicely when venturing into veterans' company for the first time on his reappearance and this classy 11-y-o might be up to defying top weight. Last year's winner Prime Venture looks to have been laid out for this again and is feared most ahead of Ballyandy, who should relish the return to 3m, and Chirico Vallis.
