Verdict

Thomas Macdonagh was far from disgraced on his hurdling debut at Warwick and has travelled up from Lambourn. Brigade of Guards, placed at Wincanton and Ascot last season, has also travelled a long way but the less-exposed NO REGRETS can repel the raiders. Nicky Richards’ charge was an eye-catcher in a bumper at Ayr in April and the switch to hurdles should see him an even better light. Teescomponentstrig, Here In The Dark and All Hail Caesar have all shown some ability and add to the interest.
