Verdict

Vengeur De Guye has been placed off similar marks this year but has just the one win over fences in 17 attempts. Halcyon Days showed progressive form at the end of last season and is 5lb higher on his return while Craiganboy has been well beaten either side of winning a chase over a longer trip here in February. But MINELLA SUITE was still going well when falling at Hexham on his recent comeback and if showing no adverse effects from that tumble, Rose Dobbin’s charge can go close with a clear round.
