Verdict
Demon D'Aunou seeks swift compensation having been hampered and unseating his rider when favourite for a chase at Southwell on Monday but it’s about time GRAGEELAGH GIRL was getting her head back in front and she only found an improver too good racing off this mark at Market Rasen last month. Tel'Art is a threat to all as he’s been in good form at Southwell, though has been raised a further 3lb. Searching won at Market Rasen last month but then a lifeless race on the Flat.
