Verdict
Though 0-13 over fences, BARON DE MIDLETON has placed nine times including three times around here. He has won over hurdles at the track and this may be his opportunity to get off the mark over the larger obstacles. Fiston Du Mou was in the process of running a decent race at Cheltenham when unseating his rider and was in fair form in the spring. Chanting Hill may prove the pick of the remainder ahead of Dragonfruit.
