Verdict
Duke Of Navan has been kept on the go all summer but his losing run now stretches back to the beginning of 2018 and he’s not getting any younger. Northern Bound arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Bangor and Sedgefield but has gone up another 8lb. Fourth Of July turned in a shocker at Perth last month while Dubai Days has to shoulder top weight on his chasing bow, though did win three times over hurdles last season. COOLKILL is also having a first run over the larger obstacles but looked a nice prospect over timber in the spring and is sure to have been well schooled. Away At Dawn wasn’t winning out of turn at Hexham but a 7lb rise makes this tougher.
