Verdict
Deise Vu hasn’t raced since scoring in a lower grade at Hereford in November and may need this. Clonusker has a very long absence to overcome while Savello is clearly a light of former days but the handicapper has given Oliver's Gold a chance and Cybalko has shown promise and is unexposed over fences. VALSEUR DU GRANVAL has plummeted down the weights and won by seven lengths the last time he raced in this grade. Noel George is good value for his 7lb claim and Tom George’s charge has his best chance for while in this. Ut Majeur Aulmes has been lightly campaigned this season but it’s almost three years since he got his head in front.
