Verdict

This looks wide-open but Paul Nicholls' French import Baoulet Delaroque is sure to be popular. Don'tdropmein was odds-on for his hurdling debut at Carlisle but found one too good while Desertmore Hill had just been headed when falling over a shorter trip here last month. But there are possibilities about Worcester third After Hours, who has already won a point-to-point and a bumper, and Ballywilliam is surely better than he showed at Perth. In The Hold should make a hurdler but TAPACULO was possibly unlucky not to make a winning start in a bumper at Exeter in March when he was forced wide and then hampered. He has a jumping pedigree and Richard Johnson takes over the reins today.
