Verdict

SHARNEY SIKE is a bit hard to predict but generally runs well here and easily beat Chavoy at Hexham two runs ago. He could take all the beating in this if in the mood and James Reveley's booking is a positive. Lively Baron is eased in grade but has reverted to type in his two runs this winter while Beauboreen was only third behind Chavoy over track and trip a month ago, though is 12lb better off. Bescot Springs hasn't won over fences since 2011 and Urban Gale's only win for current connections came at Sedgefield, though he is back on that mark today.
