In depth
Verdict
Derrick D'Anjou should go well again after winning in the soft going at Exeter while Cudgel also opened his account over hurdles with a victory at Hexham last time but is 6lb higher. But MAISON D’OR (NAP) won a higher grade contest than this over course and distance on his latest start and Micky Hammond’s charge is taken to defy a 7lb rise and go in again in this lesser company. Roccowithlove has more scope than most having placed at Wincanton on his comeback while Kauto D'Amour finished second in a maiden hurdle last time and makes his handicap debut.
