        Verdict

        Play The Ace finished a long way ahead of the disappointing Xaarcet when favourite for a race between the flags at High Easter earlier this month having won his previous two. Veteran Oaklands Bobby was only beaten a couple of lengths by Roll The Dice at Hutton Rudby last month but S For Estuary unseated his rider when tried over regulation fences at Kelso and Arboretum is more interesting. FORGE VALLEY was out of his depth last time at Aintree but was third earlier at Catterick and might be worth another chance in a moderate contest.
