Verdict
The Wicket Chicken has gone up 8lb after recording a first victory over fences at Kelso. Her jumping can still be a little hit-and-miss and she drops in trip for this so could find things tough. Hexham second Squouateur is now 0-16 over the larger obstacles while Sir Will is out of sorts and Sumkindofking was beaten 15 lengths behind MAHLERMADE at Haydock. Tom George’s charge is 10lb better off today but there should be more to come from the latter, who can confirm the form and double his tally.
