Verdict
VAZARO DELAFAYETTE (NAP) has an absence to overcome but that's rarely a problem for one from his yard. He beat Spookydooky by eight lengths over hurdles at Newbury last season and that one has won off a mark of 134 over fences this term so a rating of 108 for the Pipe horse here looks lenient in the extreme. Kap Jazz is a bit one-paced but has won over hurdles and threatens to make a better chaser given his pedigree. Lord Grantham and Squire Trelawney have already shown some ability but Castle Cheetah is proving hard to win with.
