Verdict

The Aristo Du Plessis of 12 months back could literally carry these rivals on his back, with his hurdling technique a joy to behold. However, he's lost his way and needs to show more zest for racing, but his time will gradually come again. In many ways, this has also happened at a lower level to Sleepy Haven, but he's clearly in better order now and has a good chance of following up his Leicester victory off just a 5lbs higher mark. However, the vote goes to C&D winner TEO VIVO who could be well suited to tackling this trip over hurdles for the first time this season from his last winning mark of 125. 1. Teo Vivo 2. Sleepy Haven 3. Aristo Du Plessis
