VERDICT: Blueking D'oroux was far from disgraced when fading into sixth in the Long Walk Hurdle over 3m at Ascot last month and, dropping back in trip with his sights lowered, he must enter calculations. That said, it may pay to side with Iberico Lord. He landed the Greatwood Hurdle and Betfair Hurdle last term and, after not fully convincing with his jumping over fences last time, this smart hurdler can return to winning ways sent back over timber. Salver is also one for the shortlist.
