Verdict

A winner in points since last seen under Rules in Ireland, DEPALMA is clearly a fascinating runner for the Dan Skelton yard (bought for £20,000 in May) and could well be worth chancing to immediately repay some of the investment on just his second start over fences. Harrys Hope is evidently on a good mark and feared for all her weak finishing tendencies remain a cause for concern. The consistent Ridin Solo can also feature on his first crack at 3m.
