Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Dell Oro ran in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown in April but finished last, though should make a hurdler. Hatcher pulled much too hard at Ludlow last time but has now been beaten twice at short odds over timber and Desiremoi D'authie found nothing off the bridle when odds-on at Huntingdon. Rockpoint and Notre Ami shape as though they will need further so AMERICAN GIGOLO can defy the penalty he picked up after beating New Agenda at Kempton in May - the runner-up beat Hatcher by six lengths next time.
