Verdict
Danboru won a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot nine days ago but is 0-9 over fences, though has finished second three times. He has to give 23lb to ROLL OF THUNDER, who is a reliable sort and has won here and at Carlisle already this year. Chateau Robin probably won’t be far away if fully wound-up as he makes his debut for Nicky Richards but Irish raider Mr Bolt has never won under Rules and is now 14.
