In depth
Verdict
Luddsdenene ran well over hurdles at Stratford in between his more usual modest efforts but is 5lb higher back over fences. MARIE DES ANGES makes more appeal dropping back down a grade after finishing third at Newbury and a similar effort should see her go close in this company. Sublime Talent is another with claims having slipped down the weights and showing signs of a resurgence at Wincanton last time and he makes more appeal than stablemate Zama Zama, who remains without a win over fences in 14 attempts.
