In depth

Verdict

CAULFIELDS VENTURE looks the obvious one here even though he is still creeping up the weights. He was second over this trip at Chepstow last month and arrives in much better form than most of his rivals. A case could be made for Farewellatmidnight on his best form while Over And Above has been a little better since returning from a break. Qualitee alternates between hurdles and fences but is back on a winning mark and makes more appeal than Folie A Deux and Dukeofchesterwood.
