In depth

Verdict

COUSIN OSCAR failed to complete reverting to the larger obstacles at Worcester but he’d won over hurdles at Bangor before that, with a subsequent dual winner back in third, and Donald McCain’s charge is only 3lb higher today. Iolani won over a longer trip at Kelso in September and can confirm running here in March with Diamond State, who is having his first outing since. My Macho Man has yet to win over hurdles and looks no nearer to doing so.
