In depth
Verdict
Most of these can be given a chance of sorts including Conna Cross, who won at Kempton recently and is 7lb higher today. Salto Chisco won over fences at Huntingdon in between modest efforts over hurdles while Ulis De Vassy has been thereabouts since scoring over 2m4f here last month. Get Rhythm is not out of this either but the vote goes to CONTRE TOUS. He’s won over fences in the past and drops back down in class having scored off a higher mark over timber here in February.
