Verdict
DUNKERQUE has flourished since joining Jennie Candlish and a fourth consecutive success is highly feasible, despite the gelding picking up a 7lb penalty for his Kelso success from 10 days ago. Given that Doc McCoy has failed to complete on his last three starts and Vengeance has to compete from 8lb out of the handicap, the selection could be very well placed to extend his winning sequence.
Expert View Verdict
DOC MCCOY was booked for midfield when coming down on his chase debut but should build on that experience here. He's on a dangerous mark on his hurdle form and can account for hat trick seeker Dunkerque who beat some in form rivals last time so a 7lb rise looks fair. The pair can pull clear of frustrating hurdler Vengeance who may find this on the sharp side switched to fences.
