Verdict
Clan Royal, Classic Sight and Vicars Destiny are three against the field in this competitive affair and the vote is given to Classic Sight. The selection was a fair second behind Desert Tommy last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks the value bet in an open affair. Clan Royal rates the main danger although his main target remains the Grand National and he will probably not be given a hard race so he is passed over for that reason. Vicars Destiny is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighed up to his best. Of the remainder, Zeloso was a fair second behind Silverio last time out but this looks more competitive and for the winner we return to Classic Sight.
