Verdict

LUNDI NOIR acquitted himself really well in a big-field handicap when third at Chepstow on return and this unexposed 4-y-o surely has more to offer. Captain Butler looks the other potential improver in the field having lost his unbeaten record in Grade 2 company at Kelso. Fox's Fancy remains of interest back in this sphere after an inauspicious start over fences at Hexham.
