Verdict
PACIFIC DE BAUNE had the measure of market rival Djingle when the latter unseated his rider at the last at Warwick. He did fail over this longer trip over hurdles last year but is worth another chance to show he stays. Gowiththeflow ran in the Ballymore Hurdle at Cheltenham in March after winning over 2m5f here earlier. He looks a promising sort for chasing and could give the likely favourite plenty to think about if he’s fully wound-up. Barton Knoll was quite consistent over timber but well beaten on his chasing bow and has less scope than his two rivals.
