Verdict
Just Awake came good over fences in soft ground at Perth when winning easily. But he has an 18lb hike in the weights to contend with here in contrast to Jack Albert, who can race off a lower mark back over fences having gone close over timber recently including a third at the track. KING OF THE DARK (NAP) was having only his second start over fences when falling at the last at Sedgefield. He was chasing home the winner at the time and should go close in this if staying on his feet. It's difficult to make a case for any of the remainder unless hurdles winner Acordingtoscript improves on his previous modest efforts over the larger obstacles.
