Verdict

Javert doesn’t stand much racing but is clearly useful. Cloudy Dream was beaten under a length in this last year when trained by the late Malcolm Jefferson. Now with Donald McCain, he’ll be fancied to go one better but he’s struggled to get his head in front lately. VOIX D’EAU is race-fit and in good form so gets a tentative vote ahead of Theo and Value At Risk, who is potentially well treated. Frodon has a touch of class but Flying Angel has struggled since beating Cloudy Dream in a Grade 1 novice event over these fences in April of last year. Templehills will be an outsider but he’s won two of his last three with his one failure coming over a trip too far.
