Verdict
Orbasa will was left to come home alone on his first start for Paul Nicholls in a novice event at Fontwell but had plenty of experience over fences in France. CERNUNNOS hasn't done a lot wrong over fences so far and, though raised another 5lb since his second here to Ericht, could pick up the winning thread again. Astigos reverted to type at Doncaster last time and Fairy Rath has more to do than when Sandown last time but Ballybolley should be winning soon now that the ground is drying out and French import Atirelarigo will strip fitter for a pipe-opener over hurdles. Festive Affair looked to be on the way back at Newbury recently and is handicapped to go close on his best form.
