Verdict
TRI NATIONS was racing over fences for the first time in nine months when beating Walden Prince over a slightly longer trip at Stratford. He's gone up 6lb but still looks fairly treated and a follow-up is on the cards. Next Oasis cane good over a much longer trip here in June and may find this too sharp while Lauberhorn's recent win came in a seller over hurdles. The others would all have a chance on their best form with recent course and distance runner-up De Faoithesdream probably the best of them.
