Verdict

Prideofthecastle was left clear to score over a longer trip here at the start of the month on his chasing bow. There is probably more to come but Noble Legend has reverted to type since winning at Fakenham in December. STILLETTO (NAP) is a rare runner here for Paul Nicholls but can return with the spoils if he puts in a clear round as he in front and travelling strongly when falling at the third-last at Wincanton last time having earlier chased home the smart Violet Dancer at Newbury. Course winner Valid Point is visored after unseating his rider next time at Doncaster but Vivaccio is back on a winning mark at could figure.
