Bun Doran is in the veteran stage now but did go close off this mark at Ludlow two runs ago. Dropped back to the minimum trip at Lingfield, QUEL DESTIN jumped much better to beat a couple of better-fancied rivals and could be well treated on a mark of 135. The King Of May needs further while softer going suits Llandinabo Lad but Ffos Las winner Real Stone won on good going over hurdles while Corrigeen Rock has run well here the last twice and his stable sent out last year’s winner.
