Verdict

ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE shaped well on his recent chase debut when runner-up at Kilbeggan and can go one better now at the chief expense of Dark Note who comes here on the back of a solid fourth on the Flat at Limerick. Fencing newcomer Saint Peregrine is another who can have a say in the fight for minor honours.
