Verdict
Onenightintown won over course and distance just over a year ago off a similar mark. Fakir is only 1-14 over fences but is eased in grade on his reappearance. Follow Your Arrow was also pulled up when last seen but that run should have put an edge on George Bewley’s charge, who placed off higher marks at Hexham and Cartmel in the spring. TOM CREEN won twice here last season but still looks to be on a decent mark with Tom Midgley’s 3lb claim a plus in a race like this.
