Race preview
Although second on his last three outings, KOCKTAIL BLEU has done little wrong and compensation could be on the cards. A reproduction of his latest effort in the Dovecote may be enough for him to get the better of chief threat Lisbane Park. Joe Tizzard's inmate arrives on the back of a narrow defeat at Exeter and he's likely to be in the thick of the action once more. Hurdling debutant Gambino is the pick of the remainder.
