        Verdict

        We'll take the view that THREE MUSKETEERS just needed his run in a Grade 2 at Aintree last month. He was well backed that day and can recoup losses here as his best form last season stands up to scrutiny, including a victory on this card 12 months ago. Double Shuffle didn't handle conditions in the BetVictor Gold Cup Cheltenham and better is expected here. Roman Flight is capable on his day but is probably due a break while Tenor Nivernais makes his reappearance under a welter burden. Splash of Ginge is well treated but has become a little disappointing while Stilletto has his first run for a new yard and this company may be too hot for novice San Benedeto.
