      Verdict

      Having saddled four of the last five winners of this Grade 1, Nicky Henderson will be hopeful of a good run from O O SEVEN (NAP) who has already won at Huntingdon and over this course and distance this season. He trounced subsequent winner Cyrius Moriviere on his reappearance and gave weight and a beating to another subsequent scorer on the latter occasion so his form is very solid and he's a 2m specialist whereas the likely hot favourite, Yorkhill, has only run once over this trip and is regarded as more of a staying type. Welsh Shadow easily won a Listed race at Haydock but this looks a bit tougher and Aintree scorer Agrapart also needs to take a further step forward.
