Perth runner-up Gleann Na Ndochais is often thereabouts but has climbed the weights again recently without winning. BENNYS WELL is only a pound higher than when successful over course and distance in February. He raced over longer trips subsequently and his proven stamina can see him get his head back in front today on this stiff track. Dystonia's Revenge rarely runs two races alike and is looking high enough in the weights at present while Quito Du Tresor could be feeling his age. Tikkandemickey is best watched after refusing at Hexham in May while Solway Legend looks vulnerable off this mark.
