      Verdict

      Rakhine State was third on his chasing bow at Southwell but beaten more than 20 lengths and is jumping fences late in life. A similar comment applies to Striking Out, who has won a point and a hurdle, and Cotton End. FIRE DANCER has a very long absence to overcome but that is rarely a problem for one from his yard and he won twice over hurdles in France when trained by Guillaume Macaire. For Langy has the best form of those with chasing experience though Dom Of Mary has more scope.
