Valedictory
Selected at: 2/1

Valedictory doesn’t look like the easiest horse to train but he was a very impressive winner of a Chelmsford novice back in October, where he scored by just shy of five lengths. He was denied by a neck when second on handicap debut last month and is entitled to improve for that.
