Verdict
DEREHAM showed enough to suggest plenty of his ability remains when fourth on his Yarmouth reappearance and is taken to build on that and win this for the fourth time in the last 5 years. Vilaine Verlaine proved her stamina for 2m when runner-up at Kempton last time and can fill the forecast spot.

VerdictKept very busy on all-weather over the winter, including winning a handicap over 1¾m at Southwell in January. Off 3 months. Has done most of his Flat racing on an artificial surface but is a 4-time hurdle winner so turf shouldn't be an issue.

VerdictWide-margin winner at Southwell in October and returned with good runner-up efforts there in April. Not in same form back on turf at Yarmouth twice since, though. Needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift.- 5. DerehamJ: Nicola CurrieT: John BerryF: 45/2123P-4

VerdictConsistent stayer who had lots to spare when winning this race for a third time last year. A reappearance fourth at Yarmouth (1¾m, good) should have put him spot on for another bold bid in this contest. - Unnamed Favourite
