Verdict

Gleann Na Ndochais opened his account over timber with a comfortable win at Kelso last month and should make another bold bid despite a 12lb rise. However, ANOTHER MIRACLE just failed to prevent Derwn Pryde landing a double at Uttoxeter on his reappearance and Donald McCain's charge gets the vote to go one better with that pipe-opener under his belt. Delightfully showed her best form since winning at Hexham last March when runner-up at Wetherby three weeks ago and can also figure ahead of Grand Art, who has been unable to reproduce the form of his claiming hurdle win at Southwell in November. Risk Runner ran well on his penultimate start but reverted to type when a well beaten favourite at Catterick last time.
