Dark Spirit is lightly raced over hurdles while Bin End is capable of running well fresh and Shabak Hom has been knocking on the door lately. Dark Oasis also has a chance on his best form but it's difficult to make a case for Tamarillo Grove under top weight and Adiynara also faces a stiff task on these terms. Schumpters Lad is very inconsistent nowadays but Encompassing produced a better effort at Hereford last month and could play a part. CRAZY BOLD hasn't won for a couple of years but is well treated as a result and this should be within his capabilities. He gets a tentative vote.
