Verdict
Xpo Universel was beaten over fences here last time and returns to the smaller obstacles raised 16lb for an earlier double. Larch Hill won on faster going at Warwick recently while Age Of Glory is upped in class after scoring at Wetherby. Broughtons Admiral and Bowie posted better efforts on their latest starts at Exeter and Market Rasen respectively but DORKING COCK opened his account over hurdles with a convincing victory in a conditionals’ race at Sandown and can go in again considering he escapes a penalty.
