A modest contest which won’t take much winning. There are slight ground concerns surrounding BERMEO but the top weight did win on good to soft over fences at Fontwell two runs ago and his latest third over hurdles is the best form on offer – Luca Morgan takes off 8lb. Orchestrated has won over fences but Royale Django has shown little over the last two years. Moreece has placed at Ffos Las and Worcester this summer but is now 0-33 under Rules.
