Verdict

BARDD looked one to be wary of when only second last time at Uttoxeter but the same can be said of likely market rival Adrrastos, who is even more exposed, and there are few viable alternatives. Nicky Henderson’s charge should finally get his head in front over hurdles as Flat winner Dusky Raider was scheduled to run last night at Stratford. Zephyros also won on the level but may need the experience.
