In depth

Verdict

Castledhem finished runner-up over a shorter trip at Fontwell on his debut but ran poorly when last in action while Dancing Doris also disappointed last time having found one too good at Fakenham earlier. GLENLIVET ran well for a long way before fading in the closing stages at Chepstow and has undergone wind surgery since. He’s also fitted with a tongue-tie on his reappearance and Paul Nicholls’ charge may prove the one to side with. Nicky Henderson has entered a couple of newcomers. Brilliant Present was due to run at Fontwell yesterday but stablemate Duke Of Chalfont is related to a couple of winners over hurdles.
