Readysteadybeau was second to an odds-on favourite at Wetherby six weeks ago but faces a tough task against the mare DAZZLING GLORY, who followed up a second at Hereford with a fifth in a Listed race at Sandown – she should have too much for these. Northern Falcon was far too keen at Newcastle last time and will need to settle better but Release The Kraken was far from disgraced at Kelso and unlucky to be disqualified for going the wrong side of a hurdle wing. Bearhill is a half-brother to winning hurdler/chaser Smarty Wild so worth a market check having travelled across the Irish Sea.
