Verdict
CAPTAIN ATTRIDGE signalled he is ready to go in again when returning from an absence to come home runner-up here last time so gets the vote off the same mark. In-form duo French Symphony and Mactavish appeal as the main dangers to Henry Oliver's course winner and can chase him home in that order.
