      Verdict

      The consistent Raddle And Hum ran okay here last time on a first start for new connections but remains 1-16 and returns from wind surgery. It's a chasing debut for Young William, who was tailed off last time over timber and needs to bounce back anyway, whilst Ensel Du Perche looks as if he needs more time. After a sequence of poor efforts, Friary Rock returned to form with a close-up handicap fourth at Southwell and now drops half a mile in trip. He's of real interest with Brian Hughes booked but it may be worth chancing PARDON ME despite topweight. He's not shown much at all this term but won impressively here last summer and may just find his way back to form dropping in grade. Golden Chancer ran quite well here last time and now goes chasing off the bottom rung.
