Verdict

Valadom’s presence should ensure a strong gallop while Fagan has a decent record over fences, enhanced by his latest third at Ludlow. Ouro Branco easily beat two subsequent winners on his reappearance at Wincanton but he’s been raised 10lb and stamina is unproven over this extra half-mile. Onefortheroadtom will have needed his run at Ascot in November but EL KALDOUN looks the one to beat as he’s finished second in a jumpers’ bumper since winning for the second time over fences at Taunton on ground similar to today’s. Forgot To Ask has been knocking on the door but will likely find at least one too good again.
