Verdict
FOCAIL EILE can land a quick double for John Ryan here. He bounced back to form with a vengeance at Kempton last time and is still well handicapped on his best form despite a 5lb rise. This is easier than the Ripon race won by Classic Descent last month and he has every chance dropping down a grade, but Thirsk winner Viking Warrior ran a shocker at Catterick last time off his new mark. Glenluji won a division of this race last year and has been threatening to get his head back in front of late, while Shunkawakhan still looks a shade high in the weights but can make the frame.
