Verdict
Milan Flyer is the only recent winner but is upped 10lb for last month's victory at Uttoxeter. Jac The Legend can race off the same mark as when third at Wetherby and Oscar O'Scar was placed at the same track on his penultimate start. Bescot Springs has been well beaten since scoring at Perth and stablemate Garth will also do well to improve on Lucinda Russell's good record in this event. BOLLIN JULIE returned to form with a second at Carlisle last time and won over these hurdles last season. She gets a speculative vote given Rear Admiral has been off the track for over two years now.
