Verdict

This looks quite competitive as Vive Le Roi shaped well on his reappearance at Stratford, only weakening off the home turn. Ding Ding is only 3lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in February. Chef D'Equipe changed hands for 130,000 euros after winning over fences at Auteuil in June but quicker going may have suited the returning Searching and Mr Grey has been off the track for nearly 12 months and, like Rothman, likely to be back over fences soon. FIXED RATE's hurdling career has been a little stop-start to date but he was impressive at Fakenham last month and James Bowen's claim helps offset a 10lb hike in the weights.
