Verdict
A big field for what is a modest handicap. Bryony Frost was seen at her best at Aintree on Sunday and the talented 3lb claimer can steer GAELIC FLOW to back-to-back victories, despite an 8lb rise for winning at Stratford. Shanksforamillion was more like his old self at Worcester last time and could be interesting sporting a first-time visor. Heluvagood is a previous course and distance winner while veteran Grams And Ounces was third in this last year. Worcester runner-up Out For Justice will have the assistance of Richard Johnson and Zillion won on the Flat here in August. Aquarian is another four-year-old with claims.
