Northside Prince has only won once since 2010 but is quite consistent and the booking of Simon Walker has to be a positive. Lara Carbonara only found one too good over a shorter trip here last time but has gone up 3lb since. Gunner Lindley won off a 31lb higher mark in his younger days and has been placed three times over hurdles this year. Solid Justice won at Thirsk in April but SHERMAN MCCOY has shown he is still a force at the level with a couple of places at Catterick this season and can prevail.
