Verdict
Fabuleux Du Clos has had a wind operation since getting off the mark on heavy going at Newcastle in March but is 7lb higher. Warriors Story is still 17lb higher than for his only win so far but he ran well again when reverting to hurdles here last month. CURLEY FINGER (NAP) looks the stand-out performer on recent form as he won a valuable contest at Musselburgh before leading until the run-in next time at Carlisle, where he was rallying when hampered. Split The Bill is 0-7 but his latest fourth at Perth was a fair effort and he has place claims.
