Verdict

Notre Ami finished a good second on handicap bow at Fontwell last month on soft ground having previously shaped well in maiden/novice company. Running off an unchanged mark over this longer trip, he should once more throw his hat into the ring. DAN MCGRUE however showed improved form to win a C&D novice contest last month and can go in again with Bryony Frost taking off a handy 5lb here. Diamant Bleu will surely prove better than his Sandown effort last time while Cotswold Way should appreciate this longer journey on jumping bow for an in-form yard.
