In depth
Verdict
Taquin Du Seuil had some decent form on the Flat in France and, given connections, it would be no surprise to see him show up well on his debut over hurdles. He has more scope than Bathcounty, who is already starting to look exposed, and remote Worcester fourth Global Prince. Lydstep Point is a winner between the flags but NO NO CHARLIE may have too much pace for him over this trip having won a bumper at Fontwell in May. Sparville, who has also shown promise in bumpers, may need further however.
