Verdict
Taxmeifyoucan’s chase career has been put on hold after pulling up at Hexham and he goes on the shortlist on his earlier hurdles form. Court Baloo was also pulled up at Hexham last time and will need to bounce back while the ground may be softer than ideal for The Distant Lady. Coole Hall will have benefited from his comeback but JACKS LAST HOPE has been running better than form figures would suggest and, if on a going day, Chris Grant’s 11-year-old is well enough treated in this to go close. Milvale also has a squeak but needs the mud.
