Verdict
Veteran Schindler's Prince is only 3lb higher than when successful last year but only ran once after. PHANGIO may still be on a fair mark despite a 6lb rise for winning at Warwick. Stan Sheppard is good value for his 3lb claim and his mount gets the nod ahead of Sedgefield fourth Red Giant and the returning High Counsel. Exxaro is 0-12 over fences but Goodnight Charlie won by 20 lengths at Warwick last month, though has more to do here raised 13lb.
