Verdict

DIDTHEYLEAVEUOUTTO was far from disgraced in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March after winning earlier at Lingfield and Ascot. He had a few entries this week but comes here in search of an easy introduction to hurdling. We've Got Payet has been a huge disappointment so far over timber and Richard Johnson prefers once-raced stablemate The Very Thing. Starjac looked in need of further when third at Uttoxeter while West To The Bridge is well held by the selection on bumper form and having a first run since wind surgery.
