Verdict
My Lad Percy has become expensive to follow and may lack a little confidence at present. Big Sound has come good lately but is climbing the weights as a consequence while Foot The Bill has been running over hurdles in general and failed to complete last time at Kelso. PYJAMA GAME was well behind Big Sound at Uttoxeter in July but is 14lb better off and has done better since. Rose Dobbin's stayer has won four times over fences and could grind out another victory here if in touch off the final turn. Ballyben was only beaten a nose at Perth last month and should be winning soon.
