      Verdict

      The veteran Aubusson is best watched having a first run since April and Cheltenam De Vaige was pulled up here 10 days ago. Peterborough hinted at a revival over 2m here on the same card when DOGON was a well-beaten third but the latter’s run that day was too bad to be true and it would be no surprise if the placings were reversed over this extra half-mile with the latter now equipped with blinkers. Darcy Ward has failed to complete in four of his last five but would have claims on his third at Worcester in June.
