Verdict

Main Fact won this in 2020 but the smart hurdler has something to prove now having struggled behind TIN FANDANGO on the Flat at Newbury on his return from a lengthy absence. The latter has his preferred ground again and another bold bid is expected. Oleg has been thereabouts back on the level and is preferred to Claritudo off his current mark while Justus ran well at Ascot earlier and makes more appeal than Bollin Neil.
