Verdict

Marettimo has disappointed this season but Haldon Hill has looked as good as ever, winning three times including his last two. The Macon Lugnatic is still a maiden over fences and a little one-paced but he was second over 3m6f here last time and will be staying on when others have cried enough. No Hubs No Hoobs has won and placed at Wincanton this term while King Turgeon popped up at Fontwell on only his second start in this country, though only two finished that day. HIPOP DES ONGRAIS (NAP), another French import, appeared to handle the step up in trip at Taunton last month and still looks to be on a decent mark.
