      Verdict

      Halcyon Days has just turned 13 but the Hexham runner-up is still capable if on a going day. Boagrius hasn’t won in almost three years but will have needed his run at Sandown and Catterick second Relkadam won off a 4lb higher mark over track and trip last season. Ballinsker’s chase record is lamentable, however, while STARVOSKI was behind File Illico at Warwick. But Kim Bailey’s mare was having a first run over fences that day and running for the first time since March. A winning pointer and hurdler, she is surely capable of much better.
