      Verdict

      Mulligatawny can make a winning return at the expense of Three Days Reign, Boy's Hurrah, Moving Earth and Spinofski. Nick Gifford may gain some compensation here for the non-participation of Joly Bey in last week's Hennessy, by seeing Mulligatawny pop in first time. The 10-year-old has only has 11 races since 1999 due to injury, and this fairly useful novice can make up for lost time over fences. Not seen out since scoring over fences at Huntingdon in February, he lines up on a fair mark and if fit enough, can pay to support. Three Days Reign has major clams as well, having won each of his last three starts. He jumps well but how much improvement is there to come as he rises up the weights? Boy's Hurrah does tend to make mistakes so cannot be backed with confidence, even with his light weight, and Moving Earth in contrast has to carry most weight of all. Spinofski tackled the Aintree fences last time when fourth to Forest Gunner, and this half-brother to Party Politics will relish the step back up in trip. He can make the frame, but we are going to take a chance that Mulligatawny is ready to do himself justice.
