Verdict

Most of these are having a first run over fences but this still has an open look about it. Morningside was second in small fields here and at Sedgefield earlier in the year. Get With It was in good form at Perth over the summer but Voyburg unseated his rider at the first at Huntingdon earlier this month. Shoughall's Boy won twice over hurdles at Hexham last season but the lightly-raced DOMANDLOUIS, successful over timber here in May, looks fairly treated on his chasing bow despite carrying top weight.
