Verdict

A typical make-up for the latest renewal of this long-standing and valuable sales bumper, most having their first outing, with LEADER DES BORDES making the most appeal on paper for Willie Mullins. Laguna Beach is a likely type for Nicky Henderson, while Santo Sospir is entitled to improve on his C&D victory 2 months ago.
