In depth
Verdict
Judge Earle found Kinondo Kwetu too good at Uttoxeter when bidding for a four-timer and the latter has now won both starts over fences. Zoffalee has yet to win a chase but placed yet again when runner-up at Sedgefield while Trixster won over track and trip back in April and is preferred to novice chase winner Imperial Knight. But an open contest can go to FAROUK DE CHENEAU, who finished runner-up at Bangor on his chasing bow with both the winner and the fourth subsequently boosting the form.
