    Verdict

    Croquembouche would be a threat to all on his second to Frontiersman at Newmarket in September. Lime And Lemon very much caught the eye when fifth over 1m2f at Doncaster and is well worth another try over this trip with Hector Crouch taking off 3lb. But STERNRUBIN is a potential blot on the handicap given he’s won four times over hurdles, including a Grade 3, since last running on the level in 2014. Philip Hobbs has a good strike-rate with similar types who run on the Flat. Stockhill Diva was a course and distance winner last year but is still 5lb higher.
