Verdict
Charlie Longsdon’s string is firing on all cylinders but it would need a giant leap of faith to support Calidad back over hurdles. Baliyad has been in better form, finding only one too good in his last three. Fazayte has not stopped improving this season and should be in the firing-line again and Henri Le Bon has dropped to his lowest-ever mark, though is now 0-21. MIDNIGHT GOLD never placed in Ireland but she was an eye-catcher when third at Fontwell on her UK debut and Thomasina Eyston claims a handy 8lb in this. Hexham third Maillot Blanc also warrants a mention.
