Verdict
Wetandwindy makes a quick reappearance having only finished fifth at Southwell a couple of days ago. Dindin was still beaten a distance when third at Warwick recently and Aughnacurra King hasn’t raced since scoring at Plumpton in 2020. Calvinist and Ballaquane debut over fences but ENDURING LOVE won three times over the larger obstacles when trained in Ireland and may prove good enough on his first outing for Olly Murphy.
