Verdict

Kylemore Lough has been a flag-bearer for the Kerry Lee yard this season and bids for a four-timer over fences. However, he many not find is easy giving 5lb to DORMELLO MO as Paul Nicholls' novice wasn't beaten far in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham when last seen, despite finishing last. Helium is thoroughly exposed and also a pound out of the handicap but is good enough to get involved if this turns into a tactical battle.
