        Verdict

        Barton Knoll is best when able to dominate small fields. Destrier has been beaten off lower marks over hurdles recently but isn’t badly treated on the pick of his chase form. Morning Vicar is back on a winning mark but may be in need of a confidence-booster and Perth runner-up Gaelik Coast makes more appeal. Chepstow winner Dublin Four is also interesting but CORRAN CROSS (NAP) certainly wasn’t winning out of turn at Haydock and can progress again now he’s got his head back in front.
