      Verdict

      PINK EYED PEDRO won a Class 2 handicap over track and trip in 2020 and finished runner-up in last year's Topham. He didn't run badly in that race a fortnight ago while Financier is 7lb lower than when scoring at Hereford last March and hasn't had much racing subsequently. Dublin Four has failed to complete in two out of three starts since landing a Newbury handicap in November while L'Air Du Vent has been disappointing since his only victory over fences at Exeter in 2020. Commis D'Office, who looked one to follow when a close second at Newbury, ran poorly in a lower-grade handicap at Newton Abbot.
