In depth

Verdict

Restoration seems to have two ways of running but could go well if in the mood, while first-time blinkers could liven up St Killian's Run a little. Peter Buchanan has chosen June's Hexham winner BESCOT SPRINGS ahead of the first-time visored Bob's Ticket and Lucinda Russell's six-year-old may well be the one to beat here. He's won here over hurdles over this trip on soft ground so will relish the extra and looks to have plenty more in the locker. Solway Bay has already won twice over C&D and is better than he showed at Bangor last month but Rossini's Dancer may need his first run since April and Power Pack Jack has an even longer absence to overcome.
