        In depth

        Verdict

        The Venetia Williams-trained Flaminion Way, who had form in Irish point-to-points could be interesting on his rules debut, especially with his stable in such good form, but the eight-year-old is difficult to recommend and we prefer to side with Dimitri, who gets the verdict over Lotus Des Pictons. The selection hails from the in-form stable of Steve Gollings and confirmed the promise of his debut effort in a decent Chepstow bumper when chasing home Sherkin Island at Uttoxeter on his hurdling debut earlier this month. The son of Roselier probably has most to fear from Martin Pipe's Lotus Des Pictons, although the French-bred gelding has yet to sparkle in two starts for current connections. Hugh Morrison's Taffy Dancer was little better than moderate on the flat and was probably flattered by his second to Big Moment first time out over hurdles at Fontwell last month. However, he makes more appeal than Dextra Lighting from the out of form stable of Colin Tizzard and the Richard Phillips-trained Mandingo Chief. With little strength in depth among the opposition, this is taken to go to Dimitri, who is taken to gain a deserved first success.
