Verdict
This is probably an above-average bumper but Risk D'Argent was placed twice at the end of last year before finding himself out of his depth in a Listed race at Newbury. Winning pointer Kilbeg King should have a future under Rules being a half-brother to a winning chaser while Landen Calling is improving with experience. Coronado Joe won at Fontwell last month but more will be needed here under a penalty. No Word Of A Lie was only beaten a head at Exeter on his second start and Lac De Constance ran green when third at Warwick but this can go to BARRIER PEAKS, who probably came up against a decent sort when favourite at Chepstow last month and finished clear of the others.
