In depth
Verdict
Vibrato Valtat joined Paul Nicholls after winning over a similar trip at Angers in September. James Cowley's claim negates his penalty and he is unlikely to be far away though still has to give weight to ALLONS ZEE. Philip Hobbs' gelding ran well over C&D on his debut in October and can get off the mark today. Comte D'Anjou and Storm Lantern both represent yards who do well with their bumper horses and should be watched closely for signs of market interest but the remainder will probably improve for the experience.
