Verdict

Picture In The Sky and Normally have both failed to figure since winning at Towcester and Ffos Las respectively while The Boss has yet to run up to his fourth at Newbury over a year ago. Pacha D'Oudairies looks a safer option as he had On The Bridge well behind when runner-up at Newton Abbot last time when Solitary Palm failed to complete, though he's yet to score in 19 starts over fences. REYMYSTERIO was still in contention when falling on his latest start and had gone very close at Folkestone before that - he gets the tentative vote racing off the same mark today.
