Verdict
Border Reiver scored over 2m5f at Wetherby last month and has never raced over the minimum trip over fences. Folk Tune is running well but still looks a few pounds high in the weights while Ice Image has gone up 8lb for gaining his first chasing success in 13 starts at Sedgefield and will do well to follow up. PAMAK D'AIRY looks capable of completing a quick double as he had slipped to a fair mark when beating three rivals comfortably at Wetherby last week and he's turned out quickly under a penalty whilst in such good heart. Follow The Sun battled to victory at Southwell last month but was struggling from the start as he attempted the double at Musselburgh.
