Verdict

A cracking renewal of a race in which Nick Williams has a terrific recent record having trained the winner in three of the last seven years. He runs two this time with Lizzie Kelly maintaining her partnership with Dentley De Mee and Harry Cobden on the returning Man From Mars. Paul Nicholls bids for a third win in five years with Topofthegame while Diese Des Bieffes looks the pick of Nicky Henderson’s pair. Bags Groove won over course and distance in November to follow up an earlier victory at Aintree but Coeur Blimey will have stamina to prove. Dino Velvet caught the eye upped in trip at Newbury last month and could go well at a price but easy Haydock winner Top Ville Ben will do well to dominate this field over a shorter trip. RIVER FROST is two from two here and has a touch of class. He wasn’t beaten far at Chepstow on his only run this season in a race which has produced a Grade 1 winner in Sam Spinner and a Grade 2 winner in Wholestone. Bags Groove was behind that day and is 9lb worse off.
