Verdict
Both Certification, having his first start for Andy Crook, and Avidity, are returning from a lay-off but would have claims in this grade on their best form. It's A High Time has his first run over timber away from Hexham but might just be better weighted than Teo Vivo, who has been raised 11lb for his comeback win at Kelso. Brian Ellison runs two but It's A Mans World has been out of sorts so it's STREETS OF NEWYORK who gets the vote. Danny Cook's mount was only beaten a head at Wetherby last time and may be capable of shrugging off a 5lb weight rise. Silver Duke has been placed in both previous starts here and could make the frame again.
