Doncesar De Pretot has placed in five of his six hurdle races so far but it looks like LADYKILLER is back to somewhere near his best and he can recoup Newton Abbot losses ahead of handicap debutants The Boola Boss and Great Heart'Jac, the latter clearly out of his depth in a Grade 1 at Aintree last month. Kepy Blanc is also having a first run in a handicap while Maskia’s second at Doncaster was a further step forward so he can’t be ignored.
