oddschecker Verdict
With all guns blazing from the stable, SAINT JEANNAIS is unlikely to be lacking for fitness on his return from a 146-day break. The Twiston-Davies' gelding made light work of the opposition on his hurdling bow at Bangor in May and he may be able to repel chief rival Dutch Corner. The five-year-old ended his spring campaign with a respectable sixth in the Novices' Championship Final at Sandown and should put his experience to good use. Market support for point-to-point winner Hive Runner would be interesting.
Prediction: 1st Saint Jeannais, 2nd Dutch Corner, 3rd Hive Runner
