      Verdict

      SCEAU ROYAL is clear of the opposition at the weights and made a winning reappearance in this Listed contest last year. He ended last season with placed efforts at the highest level over fences and is the one to beat back over the smaller obstacles. Sebastopol also reverts to hurdling after last week’s victory in a Listed chase at Chepstow and should have the measure of the remaining trio on these terms including last month’s handicap hurdle winner at Plumpton, See The Sea.
