Verdict

A very tricky finale that may fall to Vigoureux, with Dunraven and Forbearing just two of many dangers. The ex-French trained gelding has steadily been finding his feet in this country and showed improved form to finish a close up fourth behind Beauly at Warwick in December. If the progression continues he has an obvious chance here. Dunraven only won a seller last time but he did carry a massive weight, he gets into today's race on a fair mark and should go close in his follow up bid. Forbearing was an in and out performer for Sir Mark Prescott on the level and appears to have carried the same problem into his hurdling career, however if on a going day, as he was when landing a decent prize atTaunton, he will be a danger to all. As we mentioned there are dangers everywhere including Lunar Lord and Touch Closer, so it is with not too much confidence that Vigoureux is selected.
