Verdict
HENOK hasn't been seen since finishing fifth at Uttoxeter in March but this is by far his easiest task to date over hurdles and he can win on his first start for the Pipe team. Killimore Cottage only won by a head at Doncaster last month and is 6lb higher here but should be thereabouts again while Life Long bids to go one better than at Warwick earlier this month, though the winner has failed to frank the form since. My Viking Bay has only won one of his 28 career starts and that was a seller. He's likely to find at least a couple of these too good again.
