Verdict
Placed the last twice over fences, Fraterculus is not out of this. Time Leader is better than he showed last month at Ffos Las but Cloud Formation might need the run with Martin Keighley holding stronger claims through the hat-trick seeking Mozzaro. Thais Toir is edging closer to a first victory but may be thwarted by THAT OLE CHESTNUT, who won over hurdles in February but has always looked a chaser in the making. Tigers Roar should also make a better chaser than hurdler.
