Verdict
Dealing River is back on a winning mark but looks out of sorts at the moment and Con Forza has yet to show any form over fences. Larkhall was out-stayed over 21f last time and may appreciate the drop in trip here, but preference is for MISS CONWAY (NAP). She got off the mark in good style at Hexham and looks capable of defying a 5lb rise for her in-form stable. Poetic Lord showed hints of ability on his chasing debut and can make the frame.
