Race Verdict

Frascati Park is clearly a lot better than showing at Newcastle last time and the aggressive front-runner is fancied to bounce back to form, but DUKE OF LUCCA looks the one to beat. He backed up his solid second in the Grade 2 Pendil Chase when fifth in the Jewson at last month's Festival and a 17-length romp at Bangor most recently will have done his confidence no harm whatsoever. He should take some stopping but Mr Hudson does have a squeak receiving weight off his two main rivals.

Selection: Duke Of Lucca        Danger: Frascati Park        Alternative: Mr Hudson
