Verdict

First Lord De Cuet has proved expensive to follow over fences but he is back in the right grade here after a run in a Grade 3 at Haydock. Lord Of Kerak will have needed the run and the experience when third at Chepstow but the fast-improving TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA was a revelation stepped up to 3m at Doncaster and may end up outstaying recent course winner Famous Bridge, who has disappointed on both previous tries over 3m.
