        Verdict

        Benvolio hasn’t hit top form so far this season but this is probably a bit easier than recent tests. Vasco Du Mee is another with decent claims while Night Alliance will probably make the running and makes more appeal than recent point winner Richmond. All Great N Theory ran well behind the useful Monsieur Jourdain in an Open at Brocklesby Park last month and is having only his fourth start under Rules but DINEUR looks the one to be on. James King gave him a great ride to finish second in last year’s Fox Hunters at Aintree and that may be his target again.
