Verdict
No Such Number is a risky proposition nowadays and Charlie Snow Angel was pulled up when last seen at Perth in June, though was in good form on heavy going here in April. TRONGATE started joint favourite when second at Perth on his chasing bow last month. He is sure to have learned plenty that day and can go one better here. Irish raider Oighear Dubh has taken well to fences and will probably run his race again while Ever So Much came up against a well-handicapped rival when second at Sedgefield. Loch Linnhe won at Hexham in May but is having a first run for a new stable today.
