Verdict
Bygones Of Brid has been set some stiff tasks lately but he was second to Karinga Dancer off a 4lb higher mark at Aintree in the autumn and would have a chance in this on that form. Ubaltique has been raised 9lb for winning a lesser race at Kelso, however, while Rumble Of Thunder, Radmores Revenge and Ubaldo Des Menhies don't arrive in the best of form and are probably best watched. MAYBE I WONT had recent course and distance winner Hit The Top seven lengths behind when scoring over 2m4f at Sedgefield and is fractionally better off at the weights today. James Moffatt's nine-year-old has been a slow burner and may be capable of doubling his tally.
