In depth
Verdict
SENDIYM has the only recent form worthy of a mention. He came a cropper at Sedgefield last time but scored over track and trip earlier last month and Dianne Sayer's charge can come out best once again. Ballycool has bits of form in higher grade contests but is too unreliable to recommend while Ben Akram has shown nothing over fences so far. Laybach has claims on his form during the summer and Overlaw may also figure if fully tuned-up on his first start since April.
