Verdict
Jumping problems continue to hamper Invicta Lake and Royale Django. Ckalco Des Loges just hasn’t taken to fences and Gorsky Island continues on the downgrade. Russborough was soon beaten at Huntingdon after a promising reappearance at Ascot though that second run may have come too soon. Abracadabra Sivola is thrown in on past form but he’s been a massive disappointment this season. ALLEE BLEUE won a hurdle off 125 and is now 117 over fences. He’s not managed a win so far but has shown gradual improvement and he’ll have no excuses today.
