IDILICO keeps spoiling his chances by starting slowly but he is rarely beaten far and his turn may finally have arrived if he is a little more attentive as the stalls open. Sefton Warrior might be coming to hand but Cherry Cola has edged up the weights since placing at Yarmouth and Brighton. Veteran Nakeeta really needs more give in the ground but fast going suits Hidden Depths, who has been hurdling since a fifth at Salisbury, and he’s preferred to Aldrich Bay.
