Verdict
Only a couple of these make any appeal. Beyond Recall sets the standard off a mark of 69 though should have finished closer in a maiden race at Wolverhampton last time. But a chance is taken on THE GREAT WALL handling the Fibresand as he was conceding weight to a winner rated 75 when beaten a length at Dundalk in August and has switched to Mick Appleby’s yard subsequently. It’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder though Riverside Bridge has yet to compete in this code having had nine starts over hurdles without success.
