Foxcub was a more-than-useful handicap hurdler and won over 3m at Fakenham in February. However, he didn’t appear to get home at Catterick the following month over this sort of trip. There are also slight stamina concerns surrounding the in-form Stoleaway while Findlay's Find was returning from a lengthy absence when beating two rivals at Knightwick last Sunday. Successful at Barbury and Larkhill this year under Charlie Dando, KIT BARRY appears much improved and is worth chancing in a race in which solid form is thin on the ground. Ally Stirling’s mount Bally River Boy still has time on his side and is worth a market check.
