Verdict

A 3-time winner in France, MARTIN'S DENUO made a better fist of things than he had on British debut when second in a small-field handicap chase at Fontwell 9 days ago. In receipt of a handy 4-y-o allowance, he shades preference back at this slightly shorter trip. Top weight Gaelic Rambler ought to be suited by the drop in distance and is feared, whilst Hudson is potentially well handicapped on the pick of his hurdles form.

1	Lightly-raced maiden who was twice a runner up over fences at around 2m during the spring. Good third on C&D reappearance (shaped okay in void race here thereafter) and he's a player if dispelling a lesser effort over a longer trip at Worcester (23f) 23 days ago. 2nd Pick 1 Gaelic Rambler (Ire) Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.

7	Fair maiden hurdler for Ellmarie Holden in Ireland.
