Verdict
Recent form is thin on the ground in this but Old Magic did win on soft going at Bangor eight days ago, for which he's collected a 7lb penalty. BRINESTINE has won just once in 18 starts over hurdles but that was on good going off a 16lb higher mark and Harrison Beswick takes off a further 7lb here. Emma Baker's charge is a tentative selection ahead of John Biscuit and Exeter fourth Bring Back Charlie.
