In depth
Verdict
ABAYA DU MATHAN finished second at Hereford on Thursday under today’s amateur. He is 4lb lower today so must have every chance of going one better if turned out again quickly. Master Mikey Dee is 2lb out of the handicap but there are possibilities about Begin The Luck and Kap Chidley, who both placed on their respective chasing bows.
