Verdict

Scurr Mist has an 8lb rise to contend with having won for the second time time in three starts with a success at Wolverhampton. Tectonic is usually thereabouts but his last three wins now have all been at Carlisle while last month's course and distance winner King Of Paradise is upped a further 3lb after finishing third at Catterick. The veteran Dhaular Dhar is holding his form well this year but ADELE (NAP) drops in class after a close-up fifth at Chester and Mark Johnston's filly looks to have every chance of opening her account in this.
