Verdict

This is tricky as TURF TRIVIA has the best form on offer but is prone to error. He had some excuse last time as he unseated in a melee at the first fence having been badly hampered and had won nicely at Southwell before that. Sendiym has a shout on his second at Carlisle in August. He makes more appeal than Cara Court, who has failed to figure since scoring over hurdles here back in April, while Newdane Dancer and Potters Dream are easily overlooked.
