MI LADDO came good over hurdles when scoring over track and trip earlier in the month and he looks worth sticking with raised only 4lb. Ronde De Nuit was sent off favourite at Newton Abbot on her handicap debut but folded tamely and was pulled up. It’s too soon to write her off while Kimberley was less than fluent when third at Warwick last time and can figure with a better display of jumping. Uncle O finished in front of Plenty Of Butty in an all-weather bumper in January and placed off today’s mark at Hereford when last seen over timber.
