Verdict

THE BANGER DOYLE ran right up to his best form over fences when runner-up in a Punchestown chase 26 days ago and makes plenty of appeal from his considerably lower hurdles mark. Darcy's Friend could prove a huge threat if in the same form as when landing a gamble on stable debut in March, while Dunkerque looks an interesting handicap debutant for the Gavin Cromwell team.
