Verdict
CARLO DU BERLAIS has won two of his three starts over fences so far with both victories coming at Uttoxeter. He beat Miss Antipova last time and a good run from the latter in the first race on the card would boost confidence. Reserve Tank ended a losing run stretching back to 2019 when scoring in a first-time visor at Market Rasen but gets another switch of headgear for this while Mr Mafia won at Newton Abbot on his reappearance and the veteran remains on a winning mark.
