        Verdict

        WALK IN THE MILL has taken a bit of time to reach his peak since arriving from France but he looked much more like the finished article when carrying a big weight to victory at Exeter in November and with further progress likely can shrug off a 5lb rise. Fox Appeal, who is rated 149 over hurdles, was on a 16lb lower mark when scoring comfortably over fences at Ludlow last month and though hit with an 11lb hike it will be a surprise if he doesn't again get involved in the shake-up. Some Buckle has been aimed high after his victory at Haydock in March and will appreciate this slight drop in class, a remark that also applies to Ballygarvey, though the latter hasn't run for over a year. Paul Nicholls' Orbasa has been slightly disappointing since making a successful debut for the yard in February but still has plenty of time on his side and it would be no surprise to see him get involved.
