Verdict

CAP DU MATHAN, runner-up at Auteuil a year ago, ran well for a long way on his debut for Paul Nicholls at Cheltenham last month and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Winning point-to-pointer Getaway Fred was well supported for his debut under Rules at Exeter but found 2m1f too short on good ground and needs a stiffer test. Shang Tang disappointed when well supported for a Stratford bumper in March but should make a hurdler while Jonjo O'Neill's newcomer Nautical Star has a cracking pedigree for jumping and is one to note.
