Verdict

DOUBLE TREASURE may carry a double penalty for last summer’s victories that included a course and distance success but is clear at the weights in this company and should be winning with a clear round. El Hageb Rose ran well for second at Chepstow recently but has a stack to find with the likely short-priced favourite on these terms while Solar Glory and hurdling debutant Downe Milking Lane are even harder to recommend.
