Verdict

Cash Again has won over hurdles and fences around here, the latest over the smaller obstacles last month for which he's 5lb higher. He holds Adelphi Prince on that run but BLASTER YEATS, a winner between the flags, has yet to score over timber though produced his best run to date at Wetherby last time. That looks better form than Barnay's victory in a Class 5 at Musselburgh and he's now 12lb higher. Getaway Jewel is still a maiden and was a disappointing favourite at Catterick last time.
