Verdict
Queen Of Epirus twice finished behind Amir Pasha at Sedgefield last month, getting closer on her latest start, though connections won't be happy with a 2lb rise. Next To Nowhere scored over fences here in January and should be heading back over the bigger obstacles before long. Iktiview scored at Sedgefield in May on good ground but has been beaten out of sight in softer conditions since returning to action. Amazingreyce has the form to win this though she hasn't shown it for a very long time but KNIGHT VALIANT, who was racing in better company last season, reappeared with a decent effort at Carlisle and looks well enough treated to gain his fifth hurdling success.
