Verdict
Doughmore Bay beat IKARAK a couple of lengths on his debut under Rules here last month but the runner-up is now 6lb better off and has since run a cracker in a valuable handicap here. Isle Of Gold should do better this season and Outside Adesa and Mullys Choice are interesting recruits from the point-to-point circuit. Kick Up A Storm only ran once in bumpers but Diesel D'Allier will be warming up for another campaign over the cross-country fences at Cheltenham.
