        Verdict

        Carlovent a good winner at Aintree last time out when defeating Rostropovich, and is taken to defy his penalty with conditions again in his favour. The gelding, from the Martin Pipe yard is still well weighted on his very best form and he will be hard to beat. Ballycassidy rates the main danger. The seven-year-old has had three consecutive seconds but they have come on good to soft ground and his best efforts last term came on good to firm, so he could improve and he would have definite place claims on his latest second behind Druid's Glen at Southwell last time. Tribal Venture could also go close. He was a fair third behind Inching Closer at Cheltenham last time, but his best efforts of late have come with more cut in the ground. Rosco is another that goes well under these conditions having won well at Ascot last time. However the gelding from the bang in form Josh Gifford yard gets a penalty for that win and he may struggle off his new mark in this much more competitive affair. Do It On Dani was behind Carlovent last time out and is slightly better off at the weights, but even on these revised terms she has a bit to find. Rosarian is in the form of his life but he is rising in the weights and the handicapper may have caught up with him now. Of the remainder Ennel Boy is handily weighted and the booking of Timmy Murphy catches the eye.
