Verdict
Scoop The Pot has slid back down the handicap having won this last year while Ascot De Bruyere went close over track and trip back in March and is reunited with Brian Hughes on his second outing after wind surgery. But DRAGONFRUIT (NAP) won at Bangor before going close in a higher grade chase at Ayr last month and Oliver Greenall’s charge looks to have leading claims on that form. Slainte Mhor posted a better effort last time and is preferred to Mr Scrumpy while Chanting Hill and Cudgel returns to action with a chance if at their best.
