In depth
Verdict
LOCHNELL may prove good enough in an uninspiring contest after finishing fourth over 2m here last month. U Name It made a promising start at Perth in June but was pulled up over track and trip last time along with Teddy Tee and Royal Sea Breeze. Azure Glamour ran out of steam at Kelso on his reappearance and hurdling debut but may finish closer while only a length separated Gold Opera and Resolute Reformer when they finished down the field in a Carlisle bumper.
