Verdict
CAROLE'S DESTRIER was beaten only a short-head when runner-up at Taunton on his debut. The winner Kilmurvy has since gone in again and the Neil Mulholland's charge gets the vote. Don't Be Late also found only one too good at Warwick last month and he should be in the mix while Orchard Boy will no doubt improve on his debut effort at Bangor. The newcomers Alls It is and Morito Du Berlais are worth a second glance in the betting representing powerful yards especially the latter, a half-brother to smart hurdler Nikita Du Berlais.
