      Verdict

      Without a win over hurdles, TIMOTEO looked a different proposition on his chasing bow when scoring easily at Stratford earlier in the week. He’s taken to defy a penalty in this with more to come. Envoye Special has yet to threaten in a couple of outings since arriving from France and Holryale failed to complete on his reappearance racing off a 10lb higher mark than when successful at Worcester last year. But Knockmaole Boy and Eddiemaurice posted better efforts last time with the former preferred having slipped down the weights and running well at Leicester recently.
