Verdict

Jack Savage has been on board for three of Foundation Man’s five chase wins, including his last two. One of those victories came here and he can’t be ignored, though has little in hand on Domtaline on latest Doncaster running. Kitegen is making his reappearance but is reasonably treated and Oliver's Hill got back to winning ways on fast going over track and trip earlier this month. DARTFORD WARBLER (NAP) has been confined to hurdles so far this season but he was placed off higher marks over fences at Wetherby and Haydock earlier this year and gets the nod today.
