Solway Dornal's best form recently has been over fences but easy Hexham winner Ballyreesode must be worth a second look and King's Chorister often pops up when least expected. Gorey Lane and Just Awake could figure if fully wound-up and Northern Acres didn't run baldy on his reappearance at Perth. But FOOT THE BILL should be hard to beat again having made a successful switch back to hurdles over course and distance last month in a higher grade. His rider's claim takes care of most of a subsequent weight rise. Raifteiri is preferred to Amore Mio of the others.
