Verdict

CARRIGDOUN BOY (NAP) got into a right muddle in a hot Fakenham handicap and was pulled up as a result, Back in maiden hurdle company, his previous length second to Blow Your Wad at Kempton in November reads as the best form on offer and the gelding is worth another chance. Paul Nicholls unveils Farnoge, second on a sole Irish point start 328 days ago and the market should prove a useful pointer on this Rules debut. Roccovango is respected after shaping well on a first start for current connections after showing useful form in Ireland, and Spago has an each-way shout too, although he may be better suited to going handicapping.
