Verdict
Just Awake was due to run over fences here yesterday. Master Butcher has been running in hunter chases and Presented has also been competing over the larger obstacles. Neither Maraweh nor Jackofhearts could be ruled out on their best form and Poppies Milan only found Roll Of Thunder, who runs in the previous race, too good at Hexham last time. SOLWAY PRINCE is still a maiden but has been placed twice around here. He never got competitive over 2m4f at the track last time but a step up in trip should be in his favour and he's given another chance with Broughtons Bandit proving very expensive to follow.
