In depth
Verdict
YOU SAY WHAT had tumbled down the weights before getting his head back in front over 3m here last month. He carries 7lb extra but was winning off higher marks last year and David Pipe’s charge should make another bold bid. Another Venture was runner-up over these fences last time while Vice Et Vertu won a lower grade chase at Towcester and has been raised 6lb. Warwick runner-up Zerachiel and Lunar Flow finished almost upsides last time and are also upped in class while Rigadin De Beauchene has yet to benefit for a slide down the handicap.
