    Verdict

    Dis Donc ran 12 times over fences for Noel Meade but was only placed on three occasions and all of his rivals are race-fit. Adrimel jumped poorly at Exeter and was pulled up but is surely better than that. Fugitif only won a novices’ handicap at Worcester but did it easily and should have more to offer. DREAMS OF HOME was disappointing on his chasing debut at Carlisle but made no mistake at Ayr last month and looks one to follow on the northern circuit.
