Race preview
This will be tougher for VALADON, who must compete under a penalty having landed a three-runner event at Exeter. However, the form of his debut second reads well, with the winner subsequently bolting up at Grade 2 level, so he might be up to the task. Kabuki landed a bumper at Newcastle on his racecourse bow and must be of interest now sent over hurdles, while Dameofthecotswolds can give another good account of herself.
