Henryville had a spin over hurdles last month and this better ground will suit, though he’s never won over a trip this far. BLUE KASCADE has not won here in seven attempts and is having a first run since finishing ahead of recent Doncaster winner Lough Derg Jewel here in May but beat Bright Prospect, who won this last year, by eight lengths on his reappearance at Musselburgh last season and Rachael McDonald is good value for her 5lb claim. Groundunderrepair is plunged into handicap company after just one run over fences but has plenty of scope so looks a danger. Chidswell was just beaten in this last year when 7lb higher but has had plenty of chances since and cost his followers plenty.
