Verdict
MISFITS got no further than the second fence at Doncaster last week. But he went close when beaten less than a length at Kelso before that and is worth another chance on that form. Susie Sheep has also been narrowly beaten over fences but that was at Uttoxter back in 2015 while Calin Du Brizais has disappointed since finishing second at Worcester in May. Western Jo has slid down the weights after a succession of poor efforts and Milly Baloo makes her chasing bow having won over hurdles here last year.
