    Verdict

    Cousin Pascal has won twice between the flags this winter but was pulled up when SOLOMON GREY won at Cheltenham last April. The latter had a run at Taunton last week, which will have blown away a few cobwebs, and he should outclass these. Espoir De Teillee has not managed to complete any of his last four starts.
