Verdict

Feeling Peckish could play a part in this off bottom weight if in the mood, while Buailteoir may be running into form again after losing his confidence. Petroglyph makes his chasing debut but has won here over hurdles and makes more appeal than Hardwick Wood or Frosty Spring, neither of whom showed a great deal in their one start over the larger obstacles. FREE TO AIR is clearly in good heart at present, however, and can complete the hat-trick despite a penalty and drop in trip.
