Verdict

VICTTORINO was a back-to-back winner over C&D this time last season (latterly this race) and, likely to be sharper with his reappearance behind him, Venetia Williams is fancied to continue her purple patch and snag another significant pot. Heading up the dangers is The Changing Man, who was unlucky to bump into one in the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, with recent Haydock winner Trelawne and French-raider Heloy Delabarriere taken to fight out third.
