Verdict
Sir Tivo is back on a winning mark though finished behind third-placed ONLY MONEY (NAP) on soft going at Aintree earlier in the month. The latter faces an easier task in this and having landed a double before that, Chris Gordon’s charge can return to winning ways back on this faster surface. Court Royale won a lower grade chase at Ffos Las recently while Ridgeway and Desque De L'Isle failed to complete.
