Verdict
LE BACARDY (NAP) looked certain to score when leading approaching the last over 2m4f here nine days ago but was caught close home by the in-form Anay Turge. Dan Skelton's charge has been raised a couple of pounds since but the slight drop in distance seems certain to suit and he can finally get his head back in front. Marie Des Anges arrives off the back of a win at Fontwell and should be thereabouts while Itsuptoyou won on fast ground at Taunton last month, though reserves his best for that track. My Brother Sylvest is creeping up the weights without winning but Sew On Target is interesting given his last two runs have been in Grade 3 handicaps.
