Verdict
Eritage was a lucky winner at Ludlow and is 3lb higher but Anemoi has returned from a lengthy break in fine form and he made a winning start over fences at Chepstow, though Financier is a pound better off for a short-head defeat. Zoffee made all at Exeter after a second to a subsequent winner at Warwick and is still potentially well treated but we’ll take the view that the mare ELUSIVE BELLE will have needed the experience in a Listed race at Bangor. She still jumped well and will have no problem with today’s quicker conditions – she finished third behind Epatante over hurdles at this meeting 12 months ago. Editeur Du Gite needs it softer while Scardura’s completion rate is off-putting.
