Verdict

GINO TRAIL is the class act in this and can dominate this small field on ground that suits. He wasn’t quite good enough in a Grade 2 at Exeter on his reappearance but ran well for a long way and will strip fitter today. Never Up is an improving young chaser but won’t get his own way up front and has been found out in this grade in the past. Casual Cavalier could be the one to profit if the established front-runners take each other on but hasn’t raced since March. Pain Au Chocolat looked in need of the run at Aintree and may need another outing before hitting peak form.
