Verdict
Plenty of old favourites in this, none more so than Real Value, who was a decent handicapper at best. However, while he is sure to run well a chance is taken with Tom De Savoire, who hails from the powerful Caroline Bailey yard. The ten-year-old comes into the this on the back of a couple of decent efforts between the flags and he is taken to prove too sharp for his rivals. Winning pointer Rough Tiger could have chose an easier race to make his debut over regulation fences and a bigger threat should come from Bosuns Mate, who proved too resolute for the disappointing Irbee at Sandown. He goes well for his inexperienced rider and will ensure the front two do not have everything their own way.
