Verdict
STANDING OVATION easily won a novice event at Market Rasen last month and then reverted to fences to land a Listed handicap at Newton Abbot. He can race off a 10lb lower mark back over hurdles and is hard to oppose, though Princeton Royale dotted up back over 3m at Southwell last month. A visor that day clearly helped and he should be the danger if improving again here but this trip may be beyond Bangor winner Ever So Much and Tales Of Milan is better over fences and may need this. Adam du Breteau may need more time but Madrasa is fit from the Flat and Mighty Leader has been running well lately in similar company.
