Verdict
Most of these are struggling for form so BURNTHILL looks to have a good opportunity. He posted a much better effort when fourth at Towcester last time and can race off the same mark today. Almond Court scored over fences at Hexham in June but has failed to figure since and Desert Tommy has won a point-to-point since last racing under Rules back in 2008. Gorey Lane reverts to hurdles and may finish closer as a consequence but Stickleback was still beaten a long way when third at Hexham last month.
