Verdict
Surtitle made a winning start over timber over track and trip in February but the form hasn’t worked out. BENANDGONE has been getting closer and should give a good account under Thomas Doggrell though Doublethetrouble looks an interesting recruit despite being a maiden on the level. At A Pinch escapes a penalty despite enjoying a winning debut over hurdles at Huntingdon and was rated 83 on the Flat while Malakahna has yet to run a bad race over timber and Inca De Lafayette should also go well with The Plimsoll Line probably the pick of the remainder.
