In depth
Verdict
Tout Seul made an impressive debut over course and distance at the start of the month and has the scope to overcome the 6lb penalty he incurres here. However, runners from the Richard Hannon yard have been hard to oppose in events of this type so far this season and Avening could well extend the run of good form. The son of Averti got off the mark in good style at Leicester earlier in the month and the form was boosted by Floppie Disk at Nottingham earlier in the week. Bravo Ragasso may prove to be best of the rest.
