Verdict

Aye Well was the best of these over timber but makes his chasing debut and hasn't raced since 2012. BROTHER SCOTT looks a safer bet having finished runner-up in what looked a tougher race at Carlisle last time. Rosquero wasn't disgraced on his chasing bow and a conditionals' allowance helps his cause while Crackerjack Lad posted a better effort at Hexham recently having slipped down the weights. Cumbrian Farmer and Tweeto Paradiso have had just the one outing each over fences but both unseated.
