Verdict
Grey Gold had to be ridden right out to hold off Red Riverman in a claimer at Ffos Las in October and may not be the force of old. Ifandbutwhynot is also in the veteran category but was in front when unseating his rider at Kelso in May, though hasn’t raced since. Ut Majeur Aulmes is only 2lb higher than when just beaten at Aintree last month while Movie Legend has a good record over fences and won at Fakenham last month but SPECIAL CATCH is better than he showed on his return to action at Ayr and is given a chance to recoup losses.
