      Verdict

      Angels Breath was having his first outing since 2019 when running fresh and pulled-up in a Grade 2 chase at the start of the year. Not Available missed out on a hat-trick when only fourth at Newbury having earlier accounted for Friend Or Foe over track and trip while Taunton runner-up Earth Company faces tougher opposition today. But ECLAIR D’AINAY makes most appeal with a facile win over hurdles under his belt given Dan Skelton’s charge has gone close over fences off his current mark in the past.
