        Verdict

        Dancingwith Storms is penalised for winning at Cork in May and has subsequently joined Warren Greatrex. But he’s giving plenty of weight to ETAMINE DU COCHET in this and the latter can take advantage on her second start after wind surgery having finished runner-up at Ffos Las on last months reappearance. Bumper winner Grey Diamond didn’t fare too badly when fourth at Bangor on his hurdling bow and can finish closer but Daydream Aulmes has struggled in a couple of outings over timber since landing a bumper at Doncaster. First Figaro won a couple of bumpers for Dermot Weld in Ireland and debuts for new connections today.
