Race preview
HOLD THE SERVE hasn't looked back since disappointing on his Rules/hurdling bow, winning a novice at Wincanton before defying a penalty at Market Rasen. The six-year-old isn't obviously well treated from an opening mark of 123, but he's improving at a rate of knots and might be up to the task. Irish recruit Charlus merits closer inspection given his level of Flat ability, and veteran Whatsupwithyou is another to consider.
