Verdict
Mr Orange, once a standing dish here, has been looking a shadow of his former self this year. ROUND THE ISLAND is also an eight-year-old but he’s been in better form and is also very effective around here. Dropped another 2lb, a seventh course victory might be on the cards with a decent draw. Rebel Redemption has a penalty for winning a lesser race at Catterick but Singe Anglais is respected as his form ties in closely with that of the selection.
