Verdict
AVANOS looks the one to beat in this opener on his defeat of Changing The Guard over C&D last month. A subsequent defeat came over fences. Lawgiver also has decent C&D form to his name while Venture To War was third at Uttoxeter last time and should be challenging for a place again. Claude Carter and Executive Hall are also capable of a prominent showing if on a going day.
