Verdict

The four-year-olds are interesting but Tritonic has a job on off a mark of 142 against some battle-hardened sorts, likewise Adagio, runner-up in Grade 1 company at both the festival here and at Aintree and now asked to give weight away all round as a 4-y-o. He's good - and preferred of the pair - but it's a tough ask. No Ordinary Joe has been punted into favouritism during the week but has only landed novice hurdles at Southwell and Worcester and resides in the 'could be anything' category. His stablemate, Marie's Rock, makes greater appeal and the fact that there's been good money for West Cork after a 631-day absence speaks loudly of his chance. Camprond continues on the upgrade and is respected along with Jesse Evans but ADVANCED VIRGO, a good third on the level just under a month ago, looks to have been laid out for this by the raiding Byrnes team and is attractively treated off a mark of 133.
