        Verdict

        Venetia Williams and Charlie Deutsch had a good chance in the opener and team up in this with JACK VALENTINE, who won over course and distance in January before failing to stay 2m3f at Catterick. The lightly-raced Present From Dubai is having a first run over fences but has placed between the flags. Getabuck has a similar profile but Doukarov has already proved himself in chases and looks a bigger danger. Court Royale has been looking a shade high in the weights recently.
