      Verdict

      BISTOURI D’HONORE (NAP) probably beat a decent sort in Swoop To Conquer at Exeter last month and the pair finished well clear of the remainder. Paul Nicholls’ four-year-old is taken to follow up here but Laugharne is likely to make him work hard for victory as he ran well a couple of times at Fontwell in April and will be all the better for his second behind a previous winner at Lingfield. Forecast won at Hereford in October but failed to handle the drop back to 2m on heavy going at Lingfield next time – he may find this trip beyond him.
