In depth
Verdict
Enzo D'Airy placed in France and will be all the better after a first run for new connections at Chepstow, though was beaten a long way. ST BARTS makes more appeal if he jumps a little better than at Ascot when in need of the experience. Emphatic Qualm finished last in his only start in a bumper but it is too soon to write off the Twiston-Davies four-year-old. Do Your Job won a maiden between the flags in October but it remains to be seen how he copes with a switch to hurdles.
