Verdict
JAUNTY THOR was scheduled to run off a lower mark here over fences yesterday but has every chance in this if making a quick reappearance. Recent Hexham winner Cockley Beck is probably the danger with Danny McMenamin taking off 10lb. Karingo won over course and distance last month but was well beaten in this grade subsequently. Midnight Trouble may well improve on his form to date now going handicapping but the others are more difficult to recommend.
