Verdict
Lysino makes his chasing debut off his hurdles mark and should be thereabouts if handling fences. But ACCORDING TO SARAH (NAP) looked unlucky when tackling the larger obstacles for the first time here three weeks ago. She was badly hampered when going well having jumped soundly and compensation awaits granted better luck in-running as Kyles Faith looks a bit quirky and is much more exposed. A market move for the returning Benefique Royale would be interesting, however, and Mark Gillard has been placing Gorteenwood to good effect this summer.
