Verdict

Hexham third Allanard should make his presence felt here, though still looks a couple of pounds too high. Bertie Milan won the Highland National at Perth in April but was tailed off on his reappearance at Ayr and may need another run to put him straight. Dystonia's Revenge is potentially well treated but has been hard to train in recent years and is probably best watched. SHARNEY SIKE has won twice here, once over course and distance, and goes well fresh. Derek Fox's claim reduces his welter burden and he may be too good for these.
