        Verdict

        LE MUSEE is the best of these over jumps and has been in good form on the Flat this year having won at both Southwell and Newcastle more recently. Chez Hans has been hurdling for Paul Nicholls’ leading jumps yard and won over 1m4f on the Flat in France last year while Scorched Earth has won over timber since scoring on the level at Roscommon in August. Bailarico and Airton haven’t won on the Flat since 2018 though the former is a course and distance winner.
