Verdict

WITH DISCRETION hasn't been sighted since placing in a trio of point-to-points in 2015, but it must be of some note that the champion trainer is sending him out now for this first outing under rules. He could be up to this, making a lightweight filling for his rider between Champion Chase glory yesterday and Gold Cup destiny tomorrow. Of those with form, Bee Crossing should be suited by the longer trip while Oscar Star has been consistent and might have more to say after a recent wind operation.
