Verdict

VULCANITE, a decent middle-distance performer on the Flat, had no problem getting off the mark at Southwell last time following a promising debut behind the smart Tetlami at Kempton. Charlie Longsdon's five-year-old is Cheltenham-bound and should double his tally in this if taking part, as it looks a slightly easier race than the one he's also engaged in at Newbury today. Persian Snow is surely better than he showed at Ludlow while Shernando caught the eye on his hurdles bow at Newbury, though this drop in distance may not be in his favour. Bumper winner Daymar Bay was runner-up to Arab League at Taunton on his latest start and looks the pick of the remainder.
