Verdict

Bogside probably has the best form of those to have raced previously having run a creditable fourth behind Storm Brig here last month and the five-year-old has to be respected but it may be worth taking a chance with one of the newcomers with QUITE THE MAN making most appeal and getting the vote ahead of Breeze With Ease. James Lambe's gelding has fallen in both starts in point-to-points but makes his rules debut in what looks a poor contest and he has to be considered from a yard that does well with their runners here. Alan Parker's Reaping The Reward, a son of Sylvan Express, has to be considered on his first start, while Len Lungo's Arctic Court will need to step up on the form shown on his first start at Hexham earlier this month if he is to trouble the judge. Preference then is for Malcolm Jefferson's Quite The Man, who is bred to be useful being a son of Zagreb out of a Beneficial mare and he comes from a yard that does well with their runners in bumpers so he could easily be good enough first time out.
