Verdict

TOMKEVI is upped in class off a higher mark after winning easily at Sedgefield recently. But Rebecca Menzies’ charge scored off a similar mark last year and should be bang there at the finish once again. Desert Cry found life tough in the Grade 2 Rendelsham at Haydock last time and is 5lb higher than when scoring over track and trip before that while One For Harry also drops back down in class having found the higher rated Cyrus Darius too good at Kelso and can also figure. Sakhee's City has only won maiden hurdle so far and Maxie T has just the one win in 16 attempts over timber.
