      Verdict

      Dancetillyoudrop began the season in fine style with wins at Folkestone and over this course and distance but unseated at the first when chasing his hat-trick at Uttoxeter. The Paul Nicholls-trained gelding should be given a chance to atone while the consistent Gaysun remains fairly treated and is entitled to improve for his belated return late last month. Majadou has clearly had his problems in recent times but was formerly a high class performer and should not be discounted on his comeback.
