      Verdict

      Silver Tassie would be difficult to beat on his very close third at Wetherby in November but he's not a prolific winner and looks vulnerable. Jonny Levins sent WISHMOOR for a similar race in the UK last week which was cancelled. It's less than a year since the 10-year-old finished runner-up in the Grade B Grand National Trial at Punchestown and, though he's come nowhere near that form subsequently, he can race from 15lb lower. Valadom hasn't won since 2016 though has plenty of decent form to his credit but it's a long time since Ash Park showed any dash. Follow The Swallow was outclassed at Sandown but a narrow defeat at Warwick previously would be good enough to get him into contention.
