      Verdict

      The task of ABIDJAN is made more straightforward by the presence of his pilot who claims a valuable 7lb and the easy Warwick scorer, now back over hurdles, can follow up and provide another winner for Dan Skelton and Sam Davies-Thomas. A useful sort when with Paul Nicholls, he should prove a good money-spinner in the summer months for the Skeltons. Regulation would be a threat at his best but seems to be struggling for consistently good form at present and therefore recent course winner Star Foot could provide most danger, although now 5lb higher for that latest success. Domtaline will need to improve to contend despite receiving weight all round and Purple 'n Gold has been chasing for the past year.
