In depth

Verdict

Sego Success got first run on IF IN DOUBT at Wetherby last month but Philip Hobbs' charge was staying on well in the closing stages and finished clear of the third. That run will have boosted confidence after a fall at Exeter and he'll be a short price to go one better today. Volo Mio unseated his rider in that Wetherby race but Askamore Darsi has been placed in point-to-points so is likely to make a better chaser than hurdler and he's preferred to Lord Brendy, who has plenty of experience but is still making errors.
