Robbie Dunne timed his challenge to perfection on DARKSIDEOFTARNSIDE at Chepstow earlier in the week and will be delaying his run to the last minute here. Granted luck in-running, the six-year-old could defy his penalty. Oldabbey Bridge has been knocking on the door again lately and drops back in grade for this. Kendelu is a course winner and has been in decent form. A visor is fitted today and he shouldn’t be far away again. Bitasweetsymphony has scope and may be best of the rest.
