Verdict
Dis Donc is 0-17 over fences and only won a seller over hurdles at Wetherby in March. Haldon Hill has yet to win over fences or hurdles but travels up from Devon off the back of wind surgery and a break and should be monitored for any market support. SPUTNIK beat Follow Your Fire, who runs earlier on the card, over course and distance recently to open his account over fences. He’s gone up 10lb but has won off a higher mark around here over hurdles so can complete a double.
