Verdict

Venetia Williams had a Saturday to remember last week with 4 runners making a winning reappearance and COMMODORE can enhance that record further and take this contest for a second year in succession. He's unlikely to have it all his own way though, with Grimthorpe Chase winner Undersupervision fancied to give the selection most to think about on reappearance. Captain Cattistock and Eva's Oskar are another couple to consider in what promises to be a fascinating feature.

  1. COMMODORE (FR)
  2. UNDERSUPERVISION (IRE)
  3. CAPTAIN CATTISTOCK
