In depth
Verdict
Kaizer had every chance over hurdles at Musselburgh yesterday so may be a doubtful runner. KING D’ARGENT gets another chance in this as he was leading when he fell over fences at Newbury last time having won at Warwick before that. Loughermore is weighted to beat Ballycrystal on hurdles form having won at Wetherby on Boxing Day while Donald Dux may improve upped in distance today on the back of an outing over 2m here.
