Verdict
Bass Rock did win this last year, with Enemy Coast Ahead last of the six finishers, but is 15lb higher having won again at Carlisle in the autumn. HUNTERS CALL will appreciate this drop in class and can get his head back in front with Elvis Mail scheduled to run in the 3.30 here yesterday and a place behind Aurora Thunder at Kelso last month. Getaway Trump won at this meeting in 2019 but has been out of sorts for a while.
