Verdict
Dun Scaith remains 12lb higher than when winning at Bangor in May, Zip Top has lost his way since landing a novice event early in the year while Rum And Butter continues to struggle. Lochalsh arrives in better form and has decent claims off his current mark along with Lava Lamp but it could pay to stick with ARCHIE RICE (NAP) in this. The latter followed a win at Fontwell with a victory over these fences and the hat-trick beckons for Jimmy Frost's charge.
