Verdict
TZAR DE L’ELFE has found one too good in all three outings so far this year after finishing runner-up at Chepstow last month. But this looks easier than his recent tasks and Richard Rowe’s charge is taken to finally open his account over fences. Magic River gets another change of headgear after finishing second at Stratford a week ago and should figure again but it’s difficult to make a case for the remainder. Winning pointer Winter Soldier may do better now chasing for the first time while Jot'em Down has had recent wind surgery and Bobonyx continues to struggle.
