Verdict
Just four entries but they are very closely matched. The 10lb jockey claim could swing things the way of Overyou as he scored from just 3lb lower at Kelso last April though an even longer trip is probably required. On Broadway performed with credit at Ayr last month though his jumping could have been better while Sandynow has gone up 2lb for finishing second at Warwick. KNIGHT WOODSMAN scored at Musselburgh last month to gain his first success since 2011. He's been put up 6lb but his regular partner can claim his 7lb and a follow-up looks on the cards.
