Verdict
SACRE PIERRE scored at Sedgefield before a poor round of jumping in a better race at Haydock. He's only four and has more scope than these rivals. Just The Man has been racing in better company and is now back on his last winning mark. Across The Line won a hunter's chase in May but has been well beaten in two subsequent starts while Clearance won at Newton Abbot in the summer and hasn't been beaten far there the last twice.
