Verdict
Xpo Universel drops into this grade for the first time in over two years and has won from higher marks in the past. Get Help had a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences before reverting to hurdles with a fair effort at Sedgefield though looks held by the runner-up COMBER MILL. David Thompson's charge was only beaten just over 2 lengths after being up with the pace throughout and can go one better. Lough Legend has dropped to a lowly mark though looked a tough ride here last week while Test Ride has travelled a long way for this and ran his best race to date at Wincanton last month. Dubai Days was in good form on soft ground at this time a year ago and has found good going against him in two recent starts.
