Verdict

Abricot De L'oasis has been placed in all three hurdles starts since winning at Sedgefield more than a year ago. He only found an in-form rival too good over fences at Ffos Las last month but reverts to the smaller obstacles off a 5lb higher mark. CAPTAIN BUCK’S handled the step up in trip here last time to record a third career success – he has a bright future now he’s proved his stamina. Royale Django will probably need this and prefers soft going but dual course winner Dragon's Den should strip fitter for a recent third at Warwick.
