      Verdict

      Rostello was a well-beaten second at Ffos Las but has been dropped 2lb since. Robaddan didn’t show much on his reappearance at Fontwell but has claims on last season’s form. Oxwich Bay came up against a well-treated rival over hurdles at Haydock but High Up In The Air is on a career-high mark after winning at Lingfield. DANSEUR DU LARGE was back to his best at Fontwell in the autumn and could get back to winning ways in this if a seven-week break has recharged the batteries.
