Verdict

There are plenty in this that would have to come back to life to have any chance but that’s not to say there aren’t any interesting players in this. Travertine would be one of interest if there was any market support for him having shaped nicely at Exeter last time out. Balibour remains a maiden but one that has shown some promise and he makes his handicap debut here although the mark does look stiff enough and he could do with a greater test of stamina. Le Capricieux sprang to life on his last start and isn’t out of this off a 5lb higher mark with SUNNYTAHLIATEIGAN given the vote after his two runs this season. The first when he needed the run came in a far tougher race than this at Cheltenham and a repeat of his run at Sandown last time out will see him go close here.
  1. Sunnytahliateigan
  2. Le Capricieux
