      Verdict

      Generous Day won at Southwell last season but generally needs a run. Out On The Tear is having a first run since April and In The Air makes his chasing bow, though did win three times over hurdles. Sea Prince finished tailed off at Stratford when last seen and GENERAL MEDRANO created a very favourable impression when beating Rose Sea Has by nine lengths at Uttoxeter. That was his first run over the larger obstacles but he looked a natural and there should be plenty more to come.
