Verdict

NABUCCO is hard to oppose in this, despite giving weight to his six rivals. A dual Listed winner on the Flat, his second to Cardinal Palace at Aintree in June has worked out well and he easily beat a previous winner next time at Market Rasen. Fact Of The Matter has won a bumper so may have more pace than another winning pointer, Ballyarthur. Denboy is bred for jumping so worth monitoring while Baltic Storm had decent form on the level in Germany and should find a race or two over hurdles.
