Verdict
Beallandendall should be the to take the field along here, with Galizzi and the selection, CILLIAN'S WELL, in behind. The seven-year-old, will be better back over this longer trip andhas been holding his form well. Curious Carlos , second of seven at Aintree in June, when beaten by Mad Jack Mytton and Coeur Tantre , should be on the shortlist.
