      Verdict

      None of these are easily ruled out but northern raider Baron De Midleton has only won at Newcastle so far over fences. QUEL DESTIN remains potentially well treated in chases and has found some form again back over this trip. He might be the value ahead of Lac De Constance, who trounced Hudson De Grugy at Kempton in November but is much worse off at the weights today. Easy As That is on a roll but has shot up the weights as a consequence while No Risk Des Flos does most of his winning at Wetherby.
