Verdict

Delgany Gunner has come right back to his best but is no certainty to confirm Uttoxeter running with the luckless Kirkhammerton on 2lb worse terms, though Dot Or Feather looks held. La Pantera Rosa is 9lb higher than when scoring at Wetherby in May while Taffy Thomas couldn't follow up a victory here at Fakenham next time and is also high enough in the weights now. AIRMEN'S FRIEND has a chasing pedigree so it wasn't much of a surprise to see him leave some modest form over hurdles behind over the larger obstacles here last month. He's capable of further progress and can win again though Silent Snow is another recent C&D winner and makes more appeal than the returning Very Stylish.
