Verdict

GARAVOGUE produced his best effort when third over 2m here on qualifying run and should improve for the switch to handicaps over longer trips. He's preferred to Lion Of The Desert, who made more impact than previously at Ludlow last time and should be in the mix if his jumping holds up. Handicap debutant Cote D'Ange looks a likely improver for the Sam Thomas yard, while Walk Tall isn't discounted eased in grade.
