Verdict

ES PERFECTO remains very low-mileage as a 9-y-o and ran another fine race when third in what rates one of the strongest handicaps of the campaign so far at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago. He's fancied to prove tough to beat operating from the same mark, with Imperial Bede next best if putting his recent Kelso spill behind him. Hudson de Grugy and Nocte Volatus are others considered.

  2. IMPERIAL BEDE (FR)
