    Verdict

    ORATORIO'S JOY has obvious claims if staying the longer trip. She went close at Wolverhampton over 1m4f last time with the re-opposing pair Royal Battalion and Heska behind and the former looks the biggest threat once again. Flashman has won over today's trip but back in 2012 and needs further nowadays, as does Fair Loch who was well beaten over jumps at the end of last year.
