      Verdict

      Cyclop returned to winning ways at Musselburgh a month ago. De Rasher Counter was second in one of these at Warwick in November but a long way behind CLOTH CAP in the Becher at Aintree subsequently. Jonjo O’Neill’s stayer returns to the scene of his greatest triumph in the 2020 Ladbrokes Trophy and is a pound lower in the weights now. Mister Malarky is respected on his close second at Exeter and Larry won at Ascot in November so can’t be ignored.
