Verdict

KING MASSINI took to fences like a duck to water over 3m here last week. The drop in distance is a slight worry but his attacking style is suited by this track and, with Conor Ring's claim wiping out his penalty, he can go in again. Spoil Me has won a bumper but couldn't conjure a victory in nine tries over hurdles. He might do better now tackling the larger obstacles while the form of Ian Williams' yard suggests the returning Bobcatbilly is worth a second look. Bin End won four times over hurdles but has rather lost his way lately and the five-year-old Ultimatum Du Roy looks a better long-term prospect.
