In depth

Verdict

Caribean Boy is also engaged to run at Haydock but wherever he goes he's certain to improve for his debut for new connections at Doncaster last month, his first start since a close second in an Auteuil Listed hurdle in April 2018. Not Another Muddle returns after a break since April but would have to be considered on his earlier victory at this level at Sandown. Sir Ivan hasn't run over fences for over a year but arrives in winning form having scored over hurdles here last month. Azzuri, the easy winner of a Listed handicap at Ayr in April, has run poorly in all subsequent races but CLOUDY GLEN ran a fine race over a trip too far at Sandown and has the scope to make further progress. Kayf Adventure is 1lb lower than when landing a Class 2 handicap here two years ago and is another on the shortlist.
