Verdict

Bop Along will probably run in the previous race which may have left the door open for SEALOUS SCOUT to add to his victory in a Kelso handicap as he faces lesser opposition in this. Point-to-point winner Cobajayisland has hinted at ability in a couple of hurdle starts and is probably the one for forecast-backers unless one of the newcomers proves above average.
