    Verdict

    Parc Des Princes easily landed a seller over course and distance last week but now has a penalty and has never won off a mark this high. WORKBENCH may well have won over hurdles at Fontwell last Thursday had he not swerved after jumping the last. He'd won over fences here previously and must be worth another chance. Vermouth Bleu is starting to come down the weights but Bedouin Bay prefers a softer surface and Ascendant hasn't run over hurdles for more than two years.
