Nestor Park’s preferred engagement today is at Wetherby. Quoi De Neuf found only one too good over 3m here on his chasing debut with the winner going on to run well at Newbury. The returning Kayf Adventure slips further down the weights having a first run for Micky Hammond. The Paddy Pie is another well treated nowadays but Goa Lil’s jumping remains a concern. Azzerti is struggling for form but DASHING PERK should have come on a bundle for his fourth here last month and it might be an advantage to be prominent in this big field. Clan Legend and Looks Like Murt are others with a decent chance at the weights in a very open-looking contest.
