Verdict
The Unit, Le Capricieux and Alberta have all had their chances while Satanic Beat has been busy lately, though didn't take to fences at Stratford. Cashanova still has plenty to prove but Burning Desire is a rare runner over hurdles for Richard Hughes so could be worth a market check. HERONS HEIR is back on the same mark as when a close-up second at Sedgefield in April. He didn't fare badly back over the smaller obstacles at Hereford last month and should strip fitter here.
