Verdict
GLADIATUS (NAP) has the advantage of a recent outing under his belt. He ran well until fading in the closing stages at Chepstow on his hurdling debut and will be sharper today. Barnard Castle has a third over hurdles at Hereford back in March to his credit while Copper Cove and Kilbeg King are bumper winners debuting over timber. Take No Chances has won a point-to-point and joined Dan Skelton’s yard.
