In depth
Verdict
Civil Unrest was second off a higher mark here in the spring and made a shock return to winning ways over hurdles at Bangor last month. Miss Conway is bidding for a fifth win over these fences and looking to complete a four-timer but she’s gone up another 9lb since her latest victory. QUICK BREW ran well twice at Perth last month and is another who goes well here. Maurice Barnes’ nine-year-old may be the pick of the weights today with Exitas preferred to Boss Des Mottes of the others.
