Verdict
Old Salt is respected after landing three of his last five over fences and receives a hefty amount of weight from all bar Alderbrook Lad. Stef Keniry has a done a fine job with him but he faces some useful sorts. Asockastar won easily on a return to Rules for his new yard and commands respect on that performance and if Demi Sang can rediscover winning form shown here in May when easily accounting for Poker School, the'll go close. Double Treasure and Dieg Man are other possibles but VIENS CHERCHER had been in really good form over fences until pulling up last time. He is forgiven that disappointment in the hope he'll bounce back to his previous level.
