In depth
Verdict
Kellahen showed promise in both starts last season and Hurlerontheditch’s second to Washington here just over a year ago has worked out well. Basford should improve on his fourth over track and trip a couple of weeks ago and Riskintheground’s bumper form stands up to scrutiny. Maid Of The Night has won a point but Higher Ground has a bit to prove after unseating his rider at Stratford. IVAR’s French form is stronger than that of Ramo and his sire has produced several useful jumps winners. He can make a winning start for Donald McCain.
