Who Dares Wins has disappointed on the Flat this year and isn’t getting any younger but fellow veteran Leoncavallo has been running well, though hasn’t won over hurdles since May 2018. Goobinator, fourth in the Cesarewitch, fell when holding every chance at Bangor subsequently and connections will be looking to recoup losses but Courtandbould could only muster the one pace when third here last month. The form of Faire Part Sivola’s third at Ffos Las has been franked and he won earlier at that track but the novice form of COBBLERS DREAM (NAP) stands up to scrutiny and an opening handicap mark of 122 may be underestimating his potential.
