Verdict
A low-key affair to end proceedings. Kastani Beach has shown little improvement for the switch back to hurdles while it's difficult to find much encouragement about the chances of Hudibras and Jumeirah Liberty but Maccabees has dropped a few pounds and Nouailhas only found one too good here and at Fontwell in this grade last month. MR FICKLE has had a few near-misses and looked to be back on song when chasing home Aficianado at Fontwell last month - he should go one better in this.
