Verdict
The front-running Valadom won at Newcastle last season and was second twice in veteran chases in March, though hasn’t raced since. A spell pointing last season may have rejuvenated Rolling Dylan as he was second back under Rules at Aintree in October, though no match for an easy winner. Count Meribel has been looking a light for former days but Warwick third BALI BODY, partnered by the experienced James King, still has time on his side having only had five runs under Rules so far so he looks the answer to this.
