Verdict
Duhallowcountry won at Sedgefield in March but hasn't repeated that form since and is now tried in blinkers. ASUNCION is back on the same mark as when successful at Newcastle in March so has obvious claims if forgiven a below-par effort last time at Hexham. She's getting plenty of weight from Seven Devils, who was fourth here last time and is eased in grade, and Celestino. Tambour Major started favourite at Carlisle last month but stopped quickly and eventually finished a place behind Seven Devils.
