Verdict
Event Of Sivola won over 4m at Hexham so may find this an insufficient test of stamina. Bretney followed up a win at Hereford with a third at Newcastle but MYBURG has given the impression he should be capable of winning a race like this off his current mark given he has been successful over hurdles around here in the past. Henry Brown may be the pick of the remainder with Croagh Patrick turning in a shocker last time.
