In depth

Verdict

Durban Gold has won four times between the flags and has to be of interest on her first start over fences under Rules. Darsi Dancer has been placed twice here since the turn of the year but was pulled up last time at Hexham and may have two ways of running. CHANCEOFA LIFETIME has won a point-to-point and was placed twice in novice hurdles last month so arrives in decent form. If the switch to fences suits, he could be the one to beat. Afterclass is preferred to Heckley Herbert of the others.
