In depth

Verdict

Damut I'm Out appeared to have a bit in hand at Bangor last month and should make a bold bid to defy a 9lb rise. Argyle has switched stables since scoring at Kempton in May and is 6lb higher so well give another chance to MAURICIO. Richard Newland’s charge ran in snatches here on his fencing bow and finished a place behind former pointer Starlight Court but the five-year-old probably has more scope than that rival. Admiral's Sunset rather lost her way over hurdles last season and is best watched tackling fences for the first time.
