An ordinary affair which makes little appeal as a betting medium. Bobble Emerald was third at Huntingdon in January but still beaten 27 lengths. Late Shipment hasn't been getting home but Bayley's Dream won over this trip at Warwick in October and is only 3lb higher. NORTH HILL has been a tad disappointing since making a promising start over hurdles over 2m here in February but soft ground may not have suited at Uttoxeter on his latest start and he should do better now going handicapping so is preferred to the inconsistent Midnight Gem.
