      Verdict

      LARCH HILL may well have been flattered by his run behind Nylon Speed at Warwick in September and he’s not run up to that form in two starts since. But he does hold Bardd on these terms so could be worth one more chance. The Go Tou Man is only a pound higher than when second at Southwell in October while Lord Marmaduke was placed on this card 12 months ago and will be all the better for a run at Hereford. Miro was having a first run for David Pipe when fourth at Exeter while Kloud Gate has been running on the Flat, though has a bit to find on hurdles form.
