Verdict

Course-winner MATTERHORN sets the bar pretty high here and can make a winning return. Zonda is feared most after his encouraging Chepstow debut last month, whilst Titan Discovery and hurdling-debutant Tiny Tetley also enter calculations.

  1. MATTERHORN (FR)
  2. ZONDA (FR)
  3. TITAN DISCOVERY
