      In depth

      Verdict

      Sermando and Duarigle are best watched returning from very long absences. Sastruga won this 12 months ago but ran only twice more last season and was pulled up in both. He was also engaged in the Hexham 2.45 yesterday. SEELOTMOREBUSINESS was also pulled up in his final two starts of last season but did win a bumper and maiden hurdle around this time last year and has had wind surgery since last in action. He also sports cheekpieces today so gets another chance. Grangeclare Glory is preferred to Rabski and Whydah Gally of the others.
