In depth
Verdict
Elios D'Or has won his fair share but collateral form gives him a bit to find with GETAWAY LUV (NAP), who was rallying behind a subsequent winner at Bangor having won at Cartmel the time before. Fringill Dike was impressive in making a winning start over fences at Hexham but all of his victories so far have come at the Northumberland track. Fearless has been absent for more than 13 months but Master Malachy is a previous course winner back on a winning mark.
