      Verdict

      A coupe of these stand out from the rest including Ebony Jewel. But he’s returned a losing favourite in both outings to date over hurdles and could only manage third over course and distance last time. FIRST LORD DE CUET (NAP) makes more appeal as he made no mistake when starting favourite over today’s trip at Southwell earlier in the month and with a first-time tongue-tie likely to bring further progress, David Pipe’s grey looks the one to side with. Frimeur De Lancray looked liked placing before falling at Catterick on his first outing after wind surgery and could go well with a clear round while the betting suggested The Newest One would go close at Ludlow on his hurdling bow but he struggled to get involved.
