Verdict

Nikki Steel was still in front and going well when getting rid of his claiming rider at Worcester last month. Sean Bowen is in the saddle today but COURT DUTY appears to be on a steady upward curve and, despite a further 4lb rise for finishing second at Worcester, can record a first win over fences. Flemens Story is likely to make a better hurdler than chaser given he’s a winner between the flags but Damut I'm Out is 0-11 under Rules and Fenlons Court is 3lb higher than for his only victory over timber.
