Verdict
Theligny won easily enough in the end when odds-on at Kelso but now has to defy a penalty and might struggle to give 7lb to the less-exposed BARKIS (NAP). Nicky Henderson's recent acquisition made a promising start over hurdles at Worcester and will know more today. My Mo has been second in a couple of handicaps since winning a Stratford maiden and is unlikely to go down without a fight but Cocker would need to improve on the form he showed in the spring if he's to figure.
