Verdict

A competitive hurdle to start the day with the weights headed by Chapeltown, who like his stablemate Dusk Duel, will be making comebacks after injury. The former, a winner at this meeting back in 2001, looks to have plenty to do on the face of it, but he was an improving performer when last seen and it remains to be seen whether he retains his ability. Dusk Duel, a high-class hurdler, quickly made up into an even better chaser and may well have beaten Best Mate on his debut over fences, had he not lost his footing on landing over the second last at Cheltenham. He tackles timber for the first time in three years and is best watched for the present, even though he looks well treated. Several come into this with solid handicap form including Brooklyn's Gold, Milligan and Reviewer, while Gin Palace's defeat of Forest Tune was made to look much better when the latter won at Ludlow in the week. However, a chance is taken with Swan Knight, who looked as though he was returning to form at Stratford.
