Verdict
Both Crixus's Escape and Ballylinch placed at Sedgefield last month and the latter had earlier won at the same track while Oceans Red finished second at Huntingdon on a recent spin over hurdles and could go well back over the larger obstacles. Elleon placed yet again when third at Newcastle but a chance is taken on SIGURD (NAP) rediscovering his best. The latter won this back in 2020 but was also scoring off a higher mark last year and will be sharper for a recent reappearance in a higher grade at Wetherby.
