Verdict
Barley Breeze, pulled up in both starts over hurdles, looks to be facing an impossible task against three previous winners. Chapel Green is back in novice company after being well beaten in a couple of handicaps but he is rated 19lb lower than Dare To Shout, who followed up a second here by beating the odds-on Richhill at Kelso. SLEEPING SATELLITE needed the experience at Haydock in December but made no mistake at Carlisle next time and there should be plenty more to come.
