Verdict
Sivola De Sivola would be hard to beat here if reproducing the form of his second to subsequent Aintree winner Spirit's Son at Huntingdon in January, though a first try over this longer trip in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham next time proved inconclusive. Rain Stops Play has had plenty of chances but only went down by a neck to Knight Valliant in a handicap at Ayr last time. Luso's Lad has made the frame on a couple of occasions but the vote goes to LORD REDSGIRTH, who is a lot better than he showed when well backed at Down Royal last time and deserves another chance to get off the mark.
