In depth

Verdict

ROYAL SCOUNDREL was beaten only a short-head in a novices' hurdle at Worcester last time finishing well clear of the rest of the field. Normal improvement on only his third start over timber should see him off the mark in this contest. The Rockies was still beaten 14 lengths despite finishing third on his latest start though it looks stronger form than the recent efforts of Iron Cross at this track. Point-to-point winner Salt And Vinegar and hurdling debutante Royale Performance look best of the rest.
