    Verdict

    Sacre Coeur has won his fair share over hurdles and fences but needs further and has a mountain to climb at the weights in this along with Glorious Zoff. West Balboa has never raced over a trip this short and is also likely to find himself outpaced if coming here rather than an alternative engagement at Aintree. RUBAUD ran a nice trial for this when making all in a Listed race at Kempton and he may enjoy a fitness advantage over the promising Hansard. Gary Moore has been thwarted in his attempt to get a run into the five-year-old, who is still entered in the Greatwood at Cheltenham next week.
