Verdict
Darlac had every chance when falling at Newton Abbot last time but there is no denying that jumping has become an issue with Colin Tizzard’s charge. Salty Boy is having a first run for David Bridgwater having been 0-6 over fences in Ireland so this looks a good opportunity for DIOMEDE DES MOTTES, who wasn’t beaten far in what looked to be a decent contest at Bangor two weeks ago.
