Verdict

VISION DE MAINE's solid first campaign over fences included a win on reappearance, which suggests he could be ready to roll on this seasonal return. Montregard reacted well to a visor when scoring at Worcester when last seen in May and will be a threat if resuming in similar form. Safe Destination is next on the list for the in-form Twiston-Davies stable.

8	Irish point winner who won his first 2 chases last season. Showed even better form in defeat later in the campaign and, still lightly raced, it's possible he could have more to offer this time round. Harry Cobden a good booking, too. 1st Pick 8 Vision De Maine (Fr) Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: David Pipe J: Harry Cobden T: David Pipe	100	-	-	-	12%	8/1

5	Reacted well to a first-time visor when back to winning ways at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in May. Had a next-time-out winner back in second and a 6 lb rise looks more than fair. Big player if fully tuned after his break. 2nd Pick 5 Montregard (Fr) Jockey: Richie Mclernon Trainer: Tom Lacey J: Richie Mclernon T: Tom Lacey	98	-	-	-	29%	5/2

7	Reliable sort who readily landed conditional jockeys' handicap at Chepstow last month. Second at Kempton (3m) the following week and should give another good account for a stable among the winners. 3rd Pick 7 Safe Destination Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	96	-	-	-	23%	7/2
