      Verdict

      Good ground suits Civil Unrest but he was only fourth in this last year when 3lb lower, though did finish ahead of favourite Monsieur Co at Kelso earlier this month. Nicolas Chauvin has tumbled down the weights but he remains out of sorts, as does Contre Tous. CAP ST VINCENT stayed on strongly to beat a previous winner at Ludlow. He’s gone up 8lb for that but is having only a third run over fences this afternoon and can find the necessary improvement to score again. Cool Valley would have every chance on these terms but is 0-10 under Rules.
