In depth

Verdict

Clondaw Westie failed to complete at Wincanton having been raised 9lb for an earlier success at Leicester. Bredon Hill Lad struggled at Chepstow last time having landed a double before that including a victory over course and distance while ROTHMAN (NAP) failed to figure upped in class at Kempton last time. But the latter had finished runner-up over these fences earlier and a similar effort should see Chris Gordon’s charge go close again for a yard that has won two of the previous four renewals. Mr Muddle and Le Curieux continue to struggle.
