Verdict

Lots with chances but ROCHEVAL remains with relatively few miles on the clock and appeals as the sort to go on again this term so can capitalise on a lenient mark on his return. Heart Above arrives better than ever and heads the list of dangers, although veteran Artic Mann and hat-trick seeking The Navigator can also have a say. Asa and Joecooker complete the shortlist.
