Verdict

Marcilhac is had to fancy on his two runs this terms and a couple of the others are returning from a break. Fox Appeal has run twice since the turn of the year, however, and is a previous course and distance winner. CRESSWELL LEGEND has had wind surgery since disappointing behind King Of Realms at Ascot in November. Placed in both previous starts over fences, he gets the nod to come good today though Henllan Harri, who will like conditions, would have needed the run at Ascot in January.
