    Verdict

    Bun Doran just failed to overhaul Desque De L’Isle last month at Ludlow but the winner let the form down next time. Friend Or Foe should be approaching peak fitness and Third Time Lucki has had a wind operation since last seen. He was second to Edwardstone in the Grade 2 novices’ chase on this card last year. The going will hold no fears for GALOP DE CHASSE and he is getting plenty of weight from his rivals – his yard sent out last year’s winner. Haddex Des Obeaux is a progressive novice but is also a free-going sort, though he might get an uncontested lead.
