Verdict
VICTORY CLUB has been disappointing of late but looks very interesting from his much-reduced mark now back with a powerful yard, so he's put forward as the answer. Seraphic went like the best horse at the weights at Hereford prior to resuming winning ways back on the level on his most recent start, so he's an obvious threat, with Warwick scorer Highway One O Five also respected.
