Verdict
FRANCO D’AUNOU is one of the more exposed by missed out by only a nose at Fontwell on his reappearance and can go one better. Presenting Jeremy looked potentially useful when winning a novice hurdle at Worcester but that was back in the May of last year while Trelawne and Anglers Crag are other novice winners making their handicap debuts and Prime Venture has won off higher marks in the past.
