        Verdict

        EDMOND DANTES found one too good again at Kelso last time but cheekpieces may make the difference today and Brian Hughes stays loyal. Mcgarry makes his chasing debut having opened his account over hurdles at Hexham back in 2021 and has switched yards since while Chemical Warfare is another chasing for the first time. Rocco Storm missed out on a hat-trick when beaten at Sedgefield while Ritson may finish closer in this lower grade.
