In depth

Verdict

Point-to-point winner LOUGH DERG LEADER found only one too good at Kempton on his hurdling debut and that looks stronger form than Cuirassier Dempire’s placed effort at Worcester. Alf 'n' Dor and Norab were both beaten a long way when placed at Warwick and Stratford respectively while Dingo Dollar makes his debut under Rules having won between the flags in Ireland back in February and joined Alan King subsequently.
