Verdict
CONTRE TOUS (NAP) is upped 4lb for his recent success over course and distance but Paul Nicholls’ charge drops down in class and should make another bold bid despite today’s welter burden. Thankyou Very Much was a well-beaten second in a higher grade last time having been raised 7lb for an earlier win at Leicester but he’s still preferred to the veteran Chestnut Ben, who has been in good form in lesser company and won at Wetherby last week. Jackthejourneyman disappointed when favourite last time having won at Huntingdon before that and Midnight Chorister has been off the track since last summer.
