Verdict

A complex little handicap with five of the seven holding sound chances. PRESENT VALUE gets the narrow vote having shaped well on his Aintree debut. He wasn’t given a hard time when last seen and this step up in trip should suit (closely related to Paisley Park). Highest Sun is far better than he showed at Warwick and if allowed to adopt more positive tactics he ought to be able to regain his best form. Mont Des Avaloirs has been set some stiff assignments on his chasing starts so far and he’ll appreciate this drop in grade. Redzor looks a capable sort over fences and he along with Post War lend some strength in depth to the contest.
