Verdict
DUSKY BOB arrives in the best form with a recent win at Hexham under his belt. A 9lb rise is alleviated by a conditionals allowance and Brian Ellison's charge can go in again. Courtown Oscar was pulled-up on his return from a lay-off but landed a double earlier in the year while Rocky Stone won twice last year and is back on a winning mark if his conditional's claim is taken into account. Hexham winner Bescot Springs may prove best of the rest.
