Verdict
Another race which is almost too close to call. Kildrum was in good form around here in March while Saturday’s Bangor winner Captain Tommy tries to complete a quick double under a penalty. Henry Brown has almost seven lengths to find with Gibberwell on their run together here last month but is 6lb better off. Storm Lorenzo will be all the better for a run over track and trip 10 days ago but ROBERT D’ORES has more scope and can build on his second here at the start of the month, his first run over fences.
