Verdict
Lough Salt placed three times last year but is now 0-19 over fences. Cheer's Delboy is less exposed and has place claims while Larcadio is potentially well treated but REBEL LEADER is far more likely to run his race having opened his account under Rules with a victory at Perth last month. Mariners Moon took advantage of a lenient mark at Uttoxeter earlier this month but has been raised 6lb since.
