Verdict

Venetia Williams' upwardly-mobile FUNAMBULE SIVOLA looks the way to go given he resumed with a promising second in Huntingdon's Peterborough Chase and is attractively weighted back in handicap company. Coole Cody and Zanza fought out a good finish over C&D last month and command plenty of respect once more, with Alnadam and Deyrann de Carjac both high on the shorttlist too in a cracking contest.
