In depth

Verdict

Polurrian showed promise in bumpers while there is probably more to come from Dukes Art. Opera Prince was a decent sort on the Flat but appeared to be going backwards last year and was pulled up on his hurdling debut at Newbury so there appears little opposition to ILE DE RE's bid to follow up last month's Huntingdon victory. Neither the penalty nor the stiffer track should present too much of a problem. Points winner Caminero might be interesting if attracting market support and Mighty Mambo looks the pick of the remainder, though will need further in time.
