Verdict

FLIC OU VOYOU signalled he's ready to go in again when an excellent runner-up at Sandown earlier in the month so Paul Nicholls' 8-y-o looks the way to go. Whoshotthesheriff is feared most on the back of his recent Carlisle victory, with both Elvis Mail and Presentandcounting in the mix too in an open listed contest.
