Verdict
So Near So Farhh struggled when sent off favourite at Chester having scored over track and trip before that. Panatos also won over course and distance in May and was placed in a claimer on a trip over to France last week while Royal Hall finished in front Danglydontask when runner-up over 2m at Lingfield last time and can race off the same mark. But winning hurdler AND THE NEW is expected to improve for the extra distance having competed over shorter trips so far in four starts on the Flat. Placed over 1m4f here last time, Johnny Farrelly’s charge may prove good enough.
