Verdict

Probably only Via Via stands between this being a straight shoot-out between War Department and BOUCLIER. James Tate's Via Via should appreciate the switch to Tapeta having scored on fast ground at Newmarket in October 2016, and a 5lb rise is far from prohibitive. However, he's likely to find it tough to down the two rivals who clashed over C&D last week. The selection is 5lb better off with his conqueror, and fully entitled to improve for the switch to Mick Appleby, and he just gets the nod over a most solid dual C&D winner who hails from a stable in form in a race where the margins promise to be extremely fine.
