Verdict
Broomfields Cave finished runner-up at Aintree back in May while Dear Ralphy posted a better effort at Hexham in April. Carrigmoorna Rowan and Micronormous have form between the flags and both debut under Rules while several newcomers are worth a second glance. That includes Imprevu Du Larg, Moonlight Artist and Came From Nothing but a chance is taken on BIG FISH, a brother to a winning hurdler and a half-brother to a bumper winner.
