In depth
Verdict
GLOBAL FAME (NAP) was second to the useful Harry Senior on his hurdles bow at Chepstow with a subsequent winner in third. He is impossible to impose in this as he gets 6lb from the exposed Raashdy. Coeur Serein appreciated the step up in trip when third at Newbury but may benefit from even further in the future. That may also be the case with the former pointer Eagle De Guye, who has a lengthy absence to overcome. Robin Des Chapp is a half-brother to the stable’s brilliant mare Lady Buttons but might need the experience today.
