Verdict
Star Of Valour won four times on the Flat and has most scope of these, though is also burdened with top weight. Rebel Royal is only 1-20 over timber but his best recent run came over track and trip. Fazayte and Scudamore probably have place claims but SAMATIAN held off an in-form rival over course and distance 12 days ago and should be capable of defying a 3lb rise.
