In depth
Verdict
LANGTON WOLD was a shade keen on his hurdling debut here last month but was still keeping on in the closing stages and will know more today. Dudley's Bar hinted at ability for Colm Murphy in Ireland while Thank You Blue placed twice for Sam Thomas in bumpers. Jazz Samba won over 7f on soft going on the Flat but Mister Moodles may have more scope over this trip having run well in a couple of bumpers last season.
