    Verdict

    Dieu Vivant rather lost his way last season after finishing second at Ludlow in February. Prince Dundee is a Hexham specialist and both of Definite Wisdom’s wins over fences have come at Musselburgh. FLYING VERSE didn’t enjoy the fast going last time at Newton Abbot and is the one to beat an earlier victory at Bangor.
