Verdict
Al Muffrih ran his best race so far over hurdles when only beaten a neck by Danger Money at Sedgefield 12 days ago. Bella Beau would have a chance if fit following a break and receives weight all round but GO BOB GO showed a liking for this track earlier in the summer and a recent run on the Flat should have blown away any cobwebs. She's A Rocca also goes on the shortlist after winning at Southwell and Petite Rhapsody is consistent enough. Olly Murphy, who sent out last year’s winner, saddles two – the returning Secret Trix may be the pick.
