Verdict

Hammersly Lake won a virtual match easily at Huntingdon last month but is not exactly consistent and Nicky Henderson also runs the younger Kilcrea Vale. Champagne At Tara is also proving hard to catch right and this may not be his best trip over fences. POKER SCHOOL is far more straightforward and his latest run behind Shantou Village at Sandown was another fair effort. Neither going nor trip here is a problem and it’s hard to see the seven-year-old not being involved in the finish. Nansaroy and Ash Park will have to take a step forward to figure, however.
