Verdict
Pulled up in two of his last three runs in hunter chases, Alfstar looks a risky proposition but MARCLE RIDGE has won four of his eight starts between the flags. He is making his debut under Rules but was just beaten in a Mixed Open at Maisemore Park in March and that form could be boosted by Salvatore in the previous race. Damut I'm Out looks a danger as he’s won his last two and was placed several times over hurdles when with Gavin Cromwell. Order In Court is the youngest of the party so probably has the most scope but needs to take a step up.
