Verdict
Course specialist Graystown is 4lb lower than his last winning mark but has been pulled up in three of his last four. Skyhill won at Carlisle two runs ago but is better over much further. Mah Mate Bob has slipped to a decent mark and sports blinkers for the first time and winning hurdler Loughermore is having just his second start over fences with William Shanahan taking off 7lb. Wavelength was quite well regarded in his younger days in Ireland but CROAGH PATRICK (NAP) has been quite consistent since going chasing and can win this off his current mark.
