      Verdict

      Five For Fifteen and Asknotwhat must step up on efforts to date despite receiving 7lb from the penalised trio, whilst Mere Anarchy will need to produce a better effort than last time when folding tamely when sent off favourite for a Bangor handicap hurdle. He's bred to appreciate this extra half mile though and may enjoy the return to novice company. Ciaran Gethings' 5lb claim will also aid his cause. Kid Valentine appeared to have limitations exposed when beaten over 30 lengths in a Hexham handicap hurdle in April although the heavy ground may have been the prime contributory factor. He faces different conditions now but THE TAILGATER (NAP) looked good when winning under Richard Johnson over this trip and ground at Huntingdon and the son of Oscar should continue to progress. Moreover, the O'Neill runners have been in fine form in recent days which is always a pleasing sign.
