PASSING WELL struggled in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury last month but can defy a penalty back at this level having made a winning debut for Jamie Snowden at Uttoxeter before that. He’s weighted to beat Fabuleux Du Clos, who placed again when third at Kelso, while Fame And Concrete returned a beaten favourite at Worcester on his hurdling bow and is preferred to Five Dollar Fine. Paddock Cottage has shown some ability in bumpers and goes hurdling for the first time.
