Verdict
Fugitives Drift had been chasing before finishing runner-up over the course and distance on his return from a break last month. BIRDS OF PREY may be good enough as he has been going well without winning and has dropped dramatically in the ratings since December while Northern Bound reverts to hurdling on a 7lb lower mark than over fences having completed a hat-trick over the bigger obstacles in the autumn. Tigetren won a novices' hurdle over the track and trip in February but hasn't quite matched that form in handicaps while last year's winner Faint Hope has been well beaten the last twice.
