Verdict
Sixties Idol was returning from a long break when falling when in touch here a month ago though she's never proved herself in these conditions. Her stable also run Kenny George, who has been looking a few pounds high since scoring at Fontwell in November. Riviere Argentee is best on quicker ground but LEGAL OK reverted to hurdles here in January with a very fair effort, where he led for a long way, so looks the one to beat. Champion Chase, who has never won in 22 starts, has been chasing and is tried in a first-time visor.
