A winner over fences in France, Chambord Du Loir makes his debut for a new yard today. Cappielow Park scored in testing ground at Wincanton early in the year but was only 10th yesterday at Cheltenham. Tara Bridge posted a better effort when placed at Fontwell in February but returns to action along with bumper winner Brother Bennett and Eminent Poet while Bountiful Sin's best effort over hurdles so far came on fast ground. DORMOUSE has dropped to a decent mark and it would be no surprise to see Annabel Murphy’s charge bounce back to form in a race like this.
