      Verdict

      Ajzal got off the mark over fences with a wide-margin win at Huntingdon last month. But Ed De Giles' gelding is 13lb higher on this much stiffer track and may struggle to give the weight to BEAUCHAMP VIKING. The latter already has an excellent record on this course and has nothing to fear from Nesnaas on their recent run together at Exeter. Le Toto makes his fencing debut having fallen on his latest start over hurdles and is probably best watched for now.
