    Verdict

    Sky Watch is a half-brother to Shining Gale among others so is of obvious interest on his racecourse debut. Alpancho's yard does well with its bumper horses while Sleepy has been given plenty of time to recover from a modest effort when favourite at Wincanton a year ago. Drum Valley shaped nicely at Cheltenham and could go close but LE BEC should appreciate this stiffer test having failed to quicken on his debut when favourite at Warwick - he can go one better.
