In depth

Verdict

DRUMLEE WATAR (NAP) has a double penalty to contend with but his talented conditional offsets 7lb and the Greatrex gelding can complete a quick hat-trick after scoring comfortably in handicap company at Uttoxeter and Newton Abbot. Blue Sans landed a three-runner affair at Fontwell last month and is the danger if proving equally or more effective on a first attempt at this longer trip. Just A Whim stays well and was an easy winner of a maiden hurdle last time, although this is a better race. Dock Of The Bay has had wind surgery since disappointing on his second start over timber and Echo Du Large has place claims.
