Verdict

Cup Of Ambition was probably flattered by his proximity to Dolos at Chepstow but Darwins Theory is still capable in this grade and shouldn’t be far away again. Bob's Boy is only four so still capable of better but Utility is proving hard to catch right. OUR THREE SONS is difficult to get away from given he was never in any danger when strolling home at Stratford eight days ago, though Page Fuller can only claim 3lb in this. Miracle Cure is quickly back over hurdles after failing to take to fences at Huntingdon and looks best of the rest.
