Verdict
Bar A Mine has been well beaten in sellers recently so is hard to fancy in this grade. Craiganee is treading water off his current mark but The Barbury Queen still hadn't been asked for maximum effort when hampered and unseating her rider at Warwick at the start of the month and will be suited by dropping in distance. Lift The Lid is worth a market check but DEFINITLY GREY might be the value as he's shown signs of getting to grips with hurdles lately and still has time on his side. The four-year-old Albert Herring can also get into the action.
