In depth
Verdict
Tekthelot should be sharper for his recent comeback and drops back down in class while Allez Cool ended last season with a win at Catterick and is 6lb higher today. Divine Port has won in heavy ground and OCTAGON (NAP) was also successful in testing going at Hexham earlier this year. The latter ran well for third here at the start of the month and should go close for Dianne Sayer racing off the same mark in this. Tomkevi won three times in France but was below par at Sedgefield on his first start for new connections.
