Verdict

Prima Porta reverted to hurdling with a fair run behind Cup Final over a longer trip at Sandown. She warrants respect dropped a grade while stablemate Still Believing continues to slip down the weights. Red Devil Lads is another back over the smaller obstacles after a spell chasing but he's not really threatened to win a race so far under Rules. VOLT FACE (NAP) travelled like a winner on his reappearance at Towcester but didn't quite get home on the very testing ground. He has another welter burden to carry here but will strip fitter so gets the nod.
