Race preview

DIOMEDE DES MOTTES did well to finish a close-up fourth on his chasing debut at Bangor last month considering it was discovered the gelding lost a hind shoe during that contest. He placed over hurdles off the same mark at this venue last season and that first taste of fences will have sharpened him up nicely for this, with the stable in much better form now. Ofalltheginjoints was a useful novice hurdler last term and chasing has always looked to be where he would show his true potential, while the pick of Acey Milan's form gives him legitimate claims on his chasing bow following wind surgery. Any further rain would bring Crixus's Escape into calculations, with the seven-year-old backing up his second to the useful Saint Sonnet with an impressive 22-length win in heavy ground at Kelso in March.
