        Verdict

        Challico just held on to win over a longer trip here earlier in the month but is penalised today. DIESE DES BIEFFES (NAP) escapes a penalty for winning a conditionals’ race at Fontwell and Nicky Henderson’s grey is taken to show further progress and go in again. Bumper winner Show On The Road ran much better on his hurdling bow than his finishing position suggests and he can figure while Tikken Away was placed over timber in Ireland early this year and should be sharper for new connections after last month’s comeback run.
