      Verdict

      OSCAR CEREMONY has the best recent form by some margin. He scored over course and distance a fortnight ago on only his second outing over fences and Stef Keniry’s charge should go close again despite a 5lb rise. Emirat De Catana looked beaten in second when falling at the last here on his return while Stoney Rover finished a well beaten fourth at Hexham on his chasing bow. Caventara looks no nearer to winning over fences while Indian Brave was pulled-up on his chasing bow and Choix Des Armes debuts over the larger obstacles.
