Verdict
Jonjo O'Neill saddles three in this opener but Tip Of My Tongue and Tough As Teak are both making their racecourse debut and Toledo Castle hasn't shown a great deal so far. Platinum won on the Flat in France last year and could be a useful recruit for Rebecca Curtis, while Satou can build on his second over this trip at Chepstow in April. LOUGH DERG WAY has won a couple of point-to-points and a bumper and stepped up on his debut over timber when second at Bangor last month. He may be good enough to go one better here.
