Verdict

Applesandpierres is 2-3 here but is in the twilight of his career. Caddyhill is having a first run since last of three in a novice chase at Fontwell in September so LIVELY CITIZEN looks the one to be on. A slipping saddle caused the seven-year-old to be pulled up at Cheltenham on Saturday and that was a much more competitive race than this. Ladykiller is unexposed and was third returning from a lengthy break at Newbury five weeks ago but was still beaten 25 lengths. Forever Des Long would have a chance on last season’s form but hasn’t impressed over longer trips this term.
