Verdict
Admiral's Sunset has looked out of sorts for a while while Dino Velvet still looks a few pounds too high. But Atlantic Storm arrives off the back of a win at Southwell and is one of three course and distance victories in the line-up, though was beaten by Larch Hill on his latest visit. SIR TIVO is a consistent sort and had Sunday’s Uttoxeter winner Texard behind when runner-up last time at Aintree. The latter is now 6lb worse off.
