Verdict
The whole field has been engaged in a fruitless search for a win for some time now and a level of caution is advisable. MORE TO FOLLOW has yet to place in seven starts over hurdles and understandably gets in here in receipt of weight all round. However, he didn't run too badly at all in a better race at Perth last time and the booking of Sean Quinlan does catch the eye. He's a hopeful choice in a hard race to assess. Red Vision is one of three winners on show over this trip and his fourth at Southwell is probably the best piece of recent form too. He's come down quite a way in the weights over the past year and looks one of the more likely ones. The best of Lady Hamilton's four runs gives her a shout against her elders and Strong Team has done enough to warrant shortlist inclusion.
