Verdict
Foster's Road was a fairly comfortable winner over this trip at Nottingham nine days ago but a 9lb rise in the weights looks harsh. Mollyow was second at Folkestone on Thursday but may also be a shade high in the weights but Corvette is only a pound higher than when scoring over 2m1f at Wolverhampton and Iceman George has been in action over hurdles. AKULA was beaten five lengths by Vexillum over C&D earlier this month but that was his first start since running over hurdles at Aintree on Grand National day. He's still a maiden on the Flat but this could be a good opportunity to get off the mark.
