In depth
Verdict
Second in a handicap over course and distance when last seen over hurdles, PEPPAY LE PUGH has won four times over fences since so this looks a good opportunity for Dan Skelton’s charge. Coole Well wasn’t disgraced under a penalty at Fontwell on Boxing Day having won earlier at Plumpton so should give a good account. Dr Richard Kimble wasn’t beaten far at Newcastle in January but failed to build on that at Market Rasen so has a bit to prove now.
