In depth

Verdict

MUMGOS DEBUT has yet to win a race but has gone close on his last two starts and only faded close home over 2m4f at Ayr last time. He'll make a bold bid to get off the mark and this looks a good opportunity. Trouble In Paris has now gone 22 starts without winning and has never run over the minimum trip over fences. He was in the lead at this distance over 2m4f at Hexham last time but may not have the pace of some of these rivals. Alfred Oats is another maiden, despite being in the veteran stage, and he disappointed when strongly fancied at Ayr on his reappearance from a long absence. The four-year-old Caraline won on her chasing debut in France and has been confined to hurdles since joining Micky Hammond so she's one to keep an eye on in the betting as she reverts to fences on a lowly mark.
