Verdict

ANOTHER FINE MESS carried over his improvement when making a winning chase bow at Doncaster last month and remains of firm interest off 5 lb higher. Risk de Pluie is capable of winning off his current mark but is bumping into another potential improver, while Star of Affinity has made a good start in this sphere.
