In depth

Verdict

PACIFY, rated 101 on the Flat, is an above-average recruit to the jumping game based on his two victories to date. He beat a subsequent winner on his debut at Southwell and strolled to an effortless victory at Uttoxeter so it’s unlikely to double penalty will stop him here. Returning Glory may have a bit of scope but Fleur Du Weld is already 11 and has been hard to train. Dawn Trouper won on the all-weather at Dundalk for Jim Bolger but hasn’t shown much since joining Nigel Hawke.
