Verdict

DEPECHE MO remains a maiden following 14 attempts over hurdles but he arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts in defeat and this could be the day when he finally gets his head in front. The 6-y-o may have most to fear from Pana To Milan, who is 0-11 herself in this sphere but she won well off a 2 lb higher chase mark here last time. Recent C&D scorer Smallcraftwarning is also firmly in calculations, while Getaway Erin may well leave her previous form behind now handicapping.

  1. DEPECHE MO (IRE)
