Verdict

Princeton Royale ran yesterday at Fakenham so his participation here may be in doubt. Silverhow has been getting closer and won off a higher mark over hurdles so warrants respect but Allee Bleue continues to be let down by his jumping. With Officer Hoolihan likely to do better when the ground dries out, this is probably best left to the in-form NATIVE ROBIN. Though up another 8lb, he’s been thriving on heavy ground lately and has his favoured conditions again.
