Verdict
This looks an interesting contest as Callisto Moon likes to force the pace while Zorro De La Vega and DEAN'S GRANGE have to be held up for a late run. Sarah Humphrey's gelding looked all over the winner at Uttoxeter on Thursday but got worried out of first place close home by old rival Tilly Ann and he may have to settle for a place again her behind Colin Tizzard's six-year-old. The latter was beaten more than four lengths by Callisto Moon at Newton Abbot nine days ago and also finished second to Temple Place at the same track earlier. But he enjoys a decent turnaround in the weights with both here and can have his revenge. Mister Matt and Sky Calling win their fair share but both look held on the form book today.
