Dalkingstown won in heavy going at Ffos Las and is penalised along with The Bull Mccabe. The latter came good at Stratford with BARBADOS BUCK’S back in second but that was the latter’s first outing of the year and with this extra distance looking sure to suit, Paul Nicholls’ charge is taken to reverse running. A maiden hurdle winner in Ireland, Wigglesworth has switched yards subsequently and makes more appeal than A Time To Shine and Mr Harp of the rest.
