Verdict
MARTATOR is highly progressive and had something up his sleeve when making a winning return over C&D, so he's marginally preferred to Sans Bruit, who has a bigger performance in him. Marvel de Cerisy is a fascinating contender, too.

VerdictA three-time scorer over fences last term who returned with a solid performance when third to Martator on reappearance. Better off with that rival now and shouldn't be dismissed.- 4. Marvel De CerisyJ: James ReveleyT: N. George & A. Zetterholm, FranceF: 32416-611

VerdictUseful French hurdle/chase scorer who got off the mark for his new yard in 5-runner handicap chase at Chepstow in February. Improved again to follow up back there (16f, soft) 6 weeks later and he's a player on return.

VerdictIt's now 14 runs since his last win in 2022 and, while he ran with credit behind Martator on return, he doesn't look all that likely to turn the tables.

VerdictHas his quirks but more than fair share of ability too, left clear when successful at Sandown in February. Disappointing on final outing for Ben Pauling last season, though, and broke blood vessel on stable debut at Aintree a fortnight ago.
