Verdict

Cobajayisland has more to do than when winning at Hexham a couple of weeks ago. Distime returns from a lengthy absence, as does Ashes House, but both could figure if at their peak and Classic Move was made favourite for a similar contest at Carlisle earlier this month. He only managed fourth but made mistakes that day and is capable of better. BAILEYS CONCERTO (NAP) is 11lb higher than for his last win over fences but only 2lb higher than when scoring over hurdles at Perth last month. He's much improved and could rack up another victory before the handicapper catches up.
