Verdict

Though better known as a chaser nowadays, CABBYL DOO's half-length second to Constant Contact over C&D 12 days ago was a solid effort over the smaller obstacles and James Moffat's nine-year-old would take all the beating if reproducing that form this evening. The four-year-old Academy could be the one to chase him home as he'll have learned plenty from his run behind the useful Lexi's Boy at Haydock last month. Lord Luso was a very modest pointer but did finish third in a Sedgefield bumper on his debut under Rules and could make the frame again.
