Verdict

French-import VICTTORINO shouldn't be judged too harshly on his latest effort at Cheltenham and he remains of strong interest in view of his back-to-back C&D wins prior to that. Indeed, the 6-y-o may still have more to offer and he gets the nod ahead of Threeunderthrufive, who has resumed with two cracking efforts in top handicaps and looks set for another bold show. Revels Hill will be a threat if fully tuned-up for this belated seasonal reappearance, while Shan Blue is also shortlisted.

  1. VICTTORINO (FR)
  2. THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE (IRE)
  3. REVELS HILL (IRE)
