Verdict
Despite still having plenty to learn about jumping fences, Rob Conti came good at Bangor last month and still has time on his side. Temple Lord should be winning soon off his current mark but Intac seems to reserve his best for Hereford and the form of his latest victory there hasn't been franked. ENFANT DE LUNE couldn't quite get to stablemate Shoegazer in a well-contested Listed chase here eight days ago but that was still a cracking effort and, as he races off the same mark today, David Pipe's charge is the one to beat as once-useful stayer Dom D'Orgeval clearly isn't the force of old.
