Verdict
A moderate affair to start the bank holiday card, with few of the field coming here in particularly good form. Frankie Anson won a bumper for Mick Easterby but has failed to sparkle over hurdles and while the handicapper has given him a chance here, Micky Hammond's gelding is probably best watched for now. Cash For questions won a non-seller at Doncaster in January, and while his two subsequent efforts have been poor he still merits respect in this grade. Boss Morton would not be too far away if reproducing his second at Hexham last time, although thos trip is unknown territory for him, a remark which also applies to Lisa B, runner-up over two and a half miles at Hereford on her last start, in October. we'll take achance, though, with Bobanvi, who is also untried over this distance and whose form figures are hardly inspiring, but is well treated on her best form, most notably when second in a seller at Doncaster last December
