      Verdict

      Canton Prince has lost his way since winning at Warwick and Gleno’s winning run came to an end off today’s mark at Market Rasen. Risk And Roll returns to the smaller obstacles having failed to win in six attempts over fences though Paul Nicholls’ charge beat recent Exeter winner Here's Herbie over hurdles at Taunton at this time last year. But his latest second to Delire D’Estruval gives STOWAWAY MAGIC (NAP) a chance on collateral form and the latter showed the first signs of improvement after January’s wind operation when not beaten far at Ayr last time. With further progress expected today, he may well add another notch to Dan Skelton’s huge tally of winners this season.
