Verdict

BILLY CUCKOO has a 7lb penalty for last week's victory at Wetherby. However, that's still the best form on offer and Tony Coyle's charge can shrug off a heavy burden and go in again. Silver Steel was unsupported at Stratford when attempting to follow-up an earlier win at Perth and ran accordingly but Flichity posted a much better effort at Southwell last time and he may figure. Pickworth landed a double over hurdles early in the year but was tailed off on her chasing debut before that and Capisci has yet to show any worthwhile form.
