Verdict

Nicky Henderson has won this Grade 2 in three of the last four years. He saddles a trio this year but it’s more than a year since we last saw With Discretion and On The Blind Side and Thomas Campbell have both been chasing this term. BLACK OP (NAP) has also had a couple of runs over fences this season but he’s reverted to hurdles since the turn of the year. He’s been coming up short at the highest level but dropping back from 3m looks to be in his favour and he shouldn’t be written off just yet. Younevercall has had wind surgery since running in the Long Walk at Ascot but he’s got no form at this level. Old Guard usually finds at least one too good but novice Jarveys Plate has each-way claims being less exposed than the mare Mia's Storm and Blu Cavalier.
