Verdict

This probably won't take much winning and The Backup Plan is only a pound higher than when scoring for the second time at Sedgefield last year, though has arguably gone backwards since. Total Assets looks a risky proposition nowadays while Solway Legend has shown nothing since finishing third at Doncaster in November. Feast Of Fire is preferred to Volcanic Jack but CLUES AND ARROWS may be good enough to defy top weight as he usually runs well here and will strip fitter for a recent outing at Kelso.
