Race Verdict
VICTORS SERENADE goes from strength to strength over fences and he comes into this seeking a hat-trick following two impressive successes at Ffos Las. This will not be easy under a double penalty but he is lightly raced and could still take plenty of beating. Minella Stars has been knocking on the door and should be thereabouts once more, along with Roalco Des Farges who contested the Midlands National last month. Tullow Boy looked very useful indeed when winning at Ffos Las in December and he should not be ignored.
Selection: Victors Serenade
Danger: Roalco De Farges
Alternative: Tullow Boy
