Verdict

Attimo was on a hat-trick when falling early on at Uttoxeter in April in a race in which The Geegeez Geegee eventually finished a well-beaten fourth. Sam England's charge hasn't run since but could still figure in this with a clear round. Super Scorpion is still unexposed over fences and should be winning soon while Theatre Mill can be a forgiven a recent run over hurdles, though is still winless since arriving in this country. EVER SO MUCH (NAP) has won both previous starts over track and trip and has had his chase mark protected since successful in May. He can make a winning return from a short break as Violets Boy may find top weight and a 607-day absence too much to overcome.
