Verdict
Vivaccio won twice at Ludlow before Christmas but then unseated his rider upped in class at Haydock and was soon tailed off on his latest start at Ascot. PURE OXYGEN was wayward on his fencing bow at Ludlow and then pitched in at the deep end behind Saphir De Rheu at Exeter. A winner between the flags, he remains unexposed under Rules and could be up to landing this as none of the others exactly leap off the page. Blazing Glen may be the best of them.
