Verdict

The four-year-old Aldopicgros has to be of interest in his first handicap. Quaddick Lake and Dragon's Den have both gone well here in the past but Chemistry Master is proving a little one-paced and Zafranagar was beaten a long way at Cheltenham after winning at Leicester. Quick Decisson stayed on strongly to beat Alaivan and UT MAJEUR AULMES over this track and trip last month but couldn't handle the higher mark at Cheltenham next time and Victor Dartnall's charge is 6lb better off today. The latter can turn the form on its head and take this.
