    Verdict

    A winner between the flags on her last outing, Cillamon will clearly be of interest along with the likes of Suzy Spitfire, Salhood and Blue Business, who hails from a yard with plenty of talented bumper horses and he gets the vote. Salhood, outclassed at Aintree, will find this more his level. He ran well enough on his debut at Southwell and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close in this. It is interesting that Cillamon, who was sixth in this race last year behind Mounsey Castle, hasn't raced under rules again since, although she has won a point-to-point in the meantime. She is one to keep an eye on if the market speaks in her favour.
