Verdict
Viva Lavilla, a winner between the flags and over hurdles, has disappointed so far over fences but Fontwell winner Garincha was badly impeded when attempting a follow-up at Taunton. EATON COLLINA went up 5lb for landing a Chepstow handicap but then gained a facile success at Ascot for which a 6lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick. Jazz King made a spectacular winning debut over fences in a Ludlow handicap and is just 7lb higher while Wewillgowithplanb also made a winning start over the bigger obstacles at Fontwell before finishing runner-up back over timber at Hereford.
