In depth

Verdict

IKRAPOL looked beaten when blundering and unseating his rider on his UK debut at Exeter in November but his third to Adrien Du Pont at Enghien last April reads well and he makes more appeal than Cobra De Mai, well beaten in both starts over timber, and Loch Linnhe, who never figured on his hurdles bow at Catterick. Dance And Romance may do better now tacking hurdles as she has a decent pedigree, though two runs in bumpers showed little.
