Verdict

VALEDICTORY opened his account at the third attempt in a Chelmsford novice in October, scoring with plenty in hand, and he could do better still as he heads into handicaps. He gets the vote ahead of C&D winner King Al, who arrives on the back of a successful spell over hurdles, with Bulletin and Sportingsilvermine completing the shortlist.
