Verdict
French import Vyta Du Roc is the interesting one here and unlikely to fail through lack of fitness. But KALUCCI couldn't have gone much closer in this last year and the booking of Richard Johnson after a break since looks significant, Barry Brennan's charge gets the nod though Market Rasen second Herecomestrouble is improving with experience and The Snappy Poet was placed at Taunton last month, though still beaten almost 40 lengths.
