Paul Nicholls has dominated this meeting in recent times and has yet another useful looking candidate for top honours in the shape of ROMAIN DE SENAM, who has yet to really fulfill his true potential but may well flourish over this new trip. Village Vic is likely to ensure a good pace if he runs his usual race, which will suit the likes of Double Shuffle and Sizing Granite, who can both ensure this is a good test, whereas Ultragold can be a threat to all when he's in the right frame of mind but needs to be at his very best to overcome his rise in the weights after victory in the Topham Chase when last seen out.
