Verdict
Northern Acres bids for a hat-trick after scoring over track and trip last time. Up another 7lb today he may find DICKIE HENDERHOOP too good. The latter finished a close-up third in better company at Carlisle on his latest start and should be in the firing-line with a similar effort. Patavium has claims on his recent second at Catterick and Lady Of Verona is another who could figure dropping down a grade. Mootabar finally got off the mark when scoring at Sedgefield recently and Noble Scholar has bits of form that could see him thereabouts at the finish.
