Verdict
DISCOVERIE arrives in the best form having won over hurdles before scoring over these fences on his latest start. He’s taken to confirm running with fourth-placed Witness despite a 7lb rise. Un Anjou has been edging closer and can race off the same mark as when placed at Market Rasen on Boxing Day but Huntingdon winner Trojan Star could only manage third back at the same track last time. Nautical Twilight drops down a grade while Future Gilded is not badly treated on his winning form but got no further than the first on his recent reappearance.
