Casimir Du Clos reverts to hurdles only a pound higher than when successful over fences here last month but is 0-5 over the smaller obstacles. Hey Bob has raised a massive 11lb for winning at Sedgefield and has never been successful off a mark this high but Dark And Dangerous could figure dropped in grade on his reappearance. BINGO D’OLIVATE (NAP) has his ground and was still travelling when falling at Newcastle in April. He’s been left on the same mark and Brian Hughes keeps faith with James Ewart’s charge so he looks the one to be on.
