Verdict
Both of Leopard Hills' wins have come is selling company and he could struggle now upped in grade. TATISPOUT only went down by a short-head to Friday's Ayr winner Remember Now over this C&D last month but didn't build on that when only fifth on a return visit to the track next time. This faster ground should suit Charlie Longsdon's four-year-old, however, and he is taken to recoup losses today. Katchmore looks to be facing a stiff task under top weight but Ursus' third at Hexham was his best run so far over timber and James Pollard ran a decent race on the Flat at Doncaster two weeks ago.
