Verdict

Though Altiepix won at Stratford in the spring, he's still 6lb higher and has been disappointing overall since joining Kerry Lee. Huntingdon winner Deauville Dancer may be a few pounds too high now but Brian Hughes keeps faith with David Dennis' six-year-old. Mccabe Creek and Mercian King both arrive off the back of recent wins while Red Riverman was only reeled in close home by Grey Gold at Ffos Las. Ashoka is unexposed over fences and makes more appeal than Irish raider Baby Jake and the returning Un Prophete but could find ARTIFICE SIVOLA a tough nut to crack. The grey, placed twice off higher marks in the spring, has already won three times around here and goes well fresh.
