Verdict
Course and distance winner Ratify has a shout if a his best on his reappearance but another chance goes to WILTON MILAN. He faded quickly after a mistake at the last when sent off favourite at Carlisle but had finished second in a higher grade chase at Fontwell before that and gets the nod on that form. Azert De Coeur has slipped down the weights though has shown no benefit so far while Keep Moving has joined Philip Hobbs having ran three times without success over fences in France. Strongly Suggested went close on fast ground at Newton Abbot in August and is 2lb higher today.
