GYTO Tuesday Notebook Double

Despite pecking badly 2 out KALANISI DUBH still managed to recover and go away to win by 9 lengths at Clonmel last month. She has gone up 8lb for that and is off a career-high mark now but this looks her optimum trip and if she can avoid errors I think she’ll follow up. This race lacks strength in depth and she should strike again while the iron is still hot. The top-weight Betty Dutton has run well fresh before and if bouncing back on return could be the danger. Timeless Piece is interesting as she is so lightly raced over hurdles and if improving is another one that could get involved.

This looks an obvious chance for VALADON to follow up. He was well backed on debut and showed tons of promise to finish second at Exeter. He didn’t need to improve to open his account at cramped odds back at that venue last month and looks to have found another winnable opportunity here to make it 2 wins from 3 starts. He made all last time albeit only against two rivals and with more pace on here should be able to get a toe in which will suit better. Dameofthecotswolds was expected to run better last time but her form before that is pretty good so if bouncing back she could be the danger.
