Verdict
Not The Chablis took advantage of a mistake at the last by the eventual runner-up and won over 3m at Musselburgh. But HITMAN FRED (NAP) beat both Damiens Dilemma and Ashjan when successful over these fences last month. That was only his second outing over the larger obstacles and Rose Dobbin’s charge should make another bold bid in this. King Of Fashion and No No Mac placed at the same Hexham fixture last month and the former gets a change of headgear after finishing runner-up while the latter will be sharper for the outing.
