Verdict
Olly Murphy's only runner on the card, Made For You, carries a big weight though Lewis Stones' claim is a bonus. The five-year-old couldn't quite get to Folks Like Us at Kelso but the winner did nothing for the form next time. THOSE TIGER FEET (NAP) has made a successful debut in the last two seasons and can do so again. Kim Bailey's charge was unlucky in-running in his only subsequent start after winning at Exeter a year ago and obviously goes well fresh. Crack Du Ninian was well supported and made major improvement to score over 2m at Uttoxeter and a 6lb rise doesn't look insurmountable while Adelphi Prince, who progressed nicely last winter, lost a shoe on his reappearance at Kelso. African Glory's close second at Hexham was a major improvement on anything shown previously.
