    Verdict

    Both Saint Calvados and GOT AWAY had form in decent company over hurdles in France. The latter has already won over fences, at Auteuil in June, and can make a winning start for new connections. Remiluc had two runs over fences last year and was placed here. He is thrown in on his hurdles form and will be a big danger if his jumping holds up. Chirico Vallis has already won over the larger obstacles at Southwell and Bangor but this is a step up and he fell in between at Ludlow.
