Verdict

Another chance is given to ACCORDINGTOTHEBOSS. Cheek-pieces are tried for the first time on Nicky Richards' gelding and he should fare better than at Kelso when backed into favouritism. Former point-to-point winner Buckstruther is considered, as is Vallani following a Newcastle run after which the handicapper saw fit to allot him a 4lb higher mark. Sam Patch needs to improve for a tongue-tie, whilst Auberge is the most consistent in the race but the mare looks a bit high in the weights. Harps Counsel is an intriguing Irish raider after a run for fitness at Naas earlier this month.
