      Verdict

      Theinval won at this meeting three years ago but he’s been looking a shadow of his former self recently. NIETZSCHE is back over a more suitable trip after running in the Ultima at Cheltenham, where he was far from disgraced. He’s a strong traveller so should be suited by the fact that there are a couple of front-runners in this. Having been dropped 2lb, he is starting to look well treated. Barton Knoll will enjoy the ground and pops up every now and then while Schiehallion Munro is almost guaranteed to run his race again. Not That Fuisse finished fifth in the Grand Annual at The Festival and usually competes over shorter trips but he did win over 2m4f at Perth last summer so can’t be ignored.
