Verdict
Atlantic Dancer is the senior runner in this but won over course and distance in March, though hasn’t run since disappointing at Kelso the following month. Uttoxeter maiden winner Sullivan's Brow has been well beaten in two runs in handicaps but BEAT BOX (NAP) ran well on his reappearance at Hexham. A repeat win in this contest looks on the cards for the latter, despite an 11lb higher mark than 12 months ago. Oot Ma Way is now 0-11 over hurdles while fellow maiden Sanosuke ran poorly at Musselburgh last month.
